Buy a ZR-1: what do I need to look for?

Reviving this thread. I'm going to see another one on saturday. Should I insist to get a compression check in a garage? What else should I focus during the inspection?

Getting a compression check is a bit rare as part of a pre sale inspection but I always do compression first thing along with changing all fluids including coolant once the Z is in my garage. Do take it for a ride and note oil pressure and coolant temperatures along with any strange sounds. Do check for coolant and oil leaks after the ride.

Thank you again for the infos Dynomite! If I got a deal with the seller, I'll be riding her back home (1,100 kms). I'm a bit stressed at the moment.

Is it commun stuff with ZR-1 owners to lose their valet key? I'm 2/2 so far from the ZR-1s I tried.

Never lost one, but I never remove it.
