Need Advice on what repairs are worth doing before sale

[remembero323]

Howdy, gentlemen--

I've got a 1990 ZR-1, red on red with 43,000 miles. It's in good condition, but there're a few repairs I'm debating doing since I'm getting ready to sell the car and I'm not sure if they're worth the time/money.

1. The car has the Z51 OEM shock replacements, not the FX3 shocks. The light is on in the dash as a result (Service Ride Control). I cheaped out a bit and didn't feel like dealing with more electronics. Should I spend the $1k plus labor to switch it out?

2. Bose Delco radio needs new CDM--I'm pretty sure I'm going to do this one, but wanted to list it anyways.

3. LTPWS needs service light is on. I'm pretty sure one or more of the sensors needs replacement.

4. 2 of the wheels have minor rash. Should I spend the $200ish bucks per corner getting them refurbished?

5. Front license plate cover is from a standard C4, so it doesn't fit properly. I've been looking for a replacement, but I've had no luck. I had a Corvette logo plastic plate from Eckler's there before the red replacement cover.

I'll post pictures if anyone needs clarifications. Thanks in advance for the advice.

Depends on what you going to ask for the car but from the list above not having the correct FX3 shocks would turn me off as a buyer. Also if the injectors haven't been replaced that would be another negative for me as a potential buyer

Do 1,2,3,4

5. cover is the same for all c-4's

All of the items repaired are ones a buyer will ask about.
Well worth fixing to maximize sale proceeds.

If you want, I have CDM for sale. $120 plus shipping.

Although front license plate fillers are the same between standard C4 and ZR-1, there are two different versions - 1990 and 1991-1995. You may have 91-95 version panel when in fact you need 90 version.

Did not know this... this would explain why I can't seem to find a replacement that looks like it would fit.

I was really hoping you guys would say no one cares about the FX3 shocks... damn. It's a thousand bucks for the parts.

Be sure the tabs at the top fit in the slots at the top. or as stated wrong year. Looks a bit rounded.
