Yea, the OP'ster wrote 24000, instead of 24,000....harder to read for the old guys like me unless I have my bi-focals on....I had to read it twice this morning before posting up.

JMHO....speaking as the owner of a once less than 10,000 mile ZR-1, if I had to do it over I would not have bought such a cherry/virgin car. I do believe that a 20k to say 30k car that was owned by an "enthusiastiac" owner is the better used car buy. The garage queens, JMHO here, are no go show boats.

Hmm, I even double-checked the mileage. But yeah, it sure does say 24,000. Ignore my post then, seems way overpriced considering the title. But if the guy knocks it down to a steal, and the car checks out, it could be fun.

......The story continues, I did a carfax. Seems to have an odometer turn back issue as well, not much about 8000 miles, like flyin ryan says "things don't seem to get better" . I watched it drive away from the auction today, it did'nt sell. Sounded very nice. In spite of all the crap, I still wanted it. It must be what an addiction is like.....

Oh well, I'll keep looking, Thx for all the input.
