Funny, how I bought this car to go to NCRS events. When I was told I could not enter my car in the local event, and could not go to a regional event without first go to a local. I'm called a stupid idot for parting the car out..... Well, someone make me a offer. Or, I have a 100 point parts car.
What's up with that response by the local NCRS????? Why can't you enter the event with your 90? Cars like this one is what they should use to write the judging manual.

Have a Merry Christmas guys!

You have an offer of $32K.......You want a minimum of $35K.

So....this decision to part it out is based on a $3K margin

In other words.....at $32K parting it out is not worth it and at $35K parting it out is the way to go

It might be worth the $35K for some Chev dealer as a floor display alongside the newer models

Or as a rental for Chev dealer floor display until you get your common sense back

I'm always surprised at how many people support the "free market"... until it affects them directly...

I started with $40
I'm down to $35 after a year. The offer of $32 has not come back or replied. So, it looks like it's off the table.
I tried to trade in on a Z06 this summer, offer $20K.
Someone said "check with Rogers Corvette" spring time he would not touch the car. "sell it yourself" never said what I wanted for it. just "sell it yourself".
What's your next idea for me .....

It looks like you already took the hatch off so the value has declined. Have you taken anything else off this showroom-conditioned car?

I met some NCRS guys at a show a few months ago and they were extremely nice. I am not sure why they wouldn't let you enter your car in the local event. Did you pay the NCRS membership fees?

NCRS is always looking for new members especially since NCRS is not everybodys thing. One of the members of the club also had the Dave M. Award and it took him 1.5 years. I'm not sure of all the fees but by talking to the NCRS Judges there are fees and I know one of the judgings is $200. I wouldn't be surprized if the 4 judgings cost between $500-$1,000. That plus hotel fees, trailering (more points if you drive) - its not a cheap date. If you fail any part of performance section, you have to take the test again at a later date.

I've visited Roger's many times over the years as I lived about 15 minutes away from his showroom. Most those ZR-1's have sat for years, he never lowers his prices. Therefore, he is probably not interested in another ZR-1. He can move C5 Z06s and other cars at a much faster pace.

My suggestion is to hold the car however, Storage, heating, dehumidifer, electricity, insurance, maintaining the car all costs $.

Your car has been driven 9 miles per year and that scares alot of people.

What maintenace have you done since you bought the car?

Radiator fluid, oil, transmission, brakes, rear end?

This has nothing to do with your car. In this poor economy, if you got offered $30-$32,000 you would be doing great. Just look all around you at Corvette prices. There are smoking deals out there.
