ZR1 Market - - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

It sounds like I just can't go wrong as long as it has been maintained. Marc Haibeck must be a god! The few owners I have talked to over the phone send their cars to him for service. Nothing but good things about his work. Its very rare today for people to praise others for fairness and the quality work. (Don't know the company or person and by all means not a recommendation just an observation).

Anyways- The hunt begins....over this past weekend I looked at a 1991 ZR1 that is local in Northwest burbs of Chicago. I don't care for the color combo but it was a low mile, well documented lots of extra's. Taking the advice from the board posting and I plan on looking at as many ZR1 as possible. I figure if I look at enough of them I'll know whats right (kinda like creating a benchmark). Inside my head still battling low mileage OR a car that was driven and has all the bugs worked out? The color combo plays a part as well.

Oh yeah, the windshield does have a minor lamination problem. Wouldn't know about the problem if I didn't read prior post or joined the registry.

Thanks for all the responses....it truly does help. More questions to come!

I suspect there are several members who actually live out in S. Cal., but if none are available I will catch a plane out there to look at it for you.

No bite on my offer to fly out and see it?

I am actually going to be out in S. Cal. next week, so it is not as if I was going to fly out there just to see it for you.

However, if I get a chance to swing by I'll take a quick look at it for you.

cuisinartvette · 09-07-2005

I cold swing out that way sometime this weekend, probably Sun. if they are open. Sure they wouldn't mind me taking pics, no?
I also have heard his cars are mint. Let me know

Where you going to be next week ,Dave?

Chris · 09-08-2005

You ZR1 owners are the best group of guy.

I'LL take all the help i can get! If you guys can take a look at it that would be great. If possible, only take pics of the flaws? Primarily looking for status of condition and checkout the common problems associated with ZR1's. Like I said before, they claim the car looks like it rolled off from the factoty line. (..I told them I very pickey so don't BS me. They claim I wouldn't be disappointed.)

All dealers say that!

Not sure if they are open on Sundays, I'll get back to you.
