parting out 90 with 179 miles

[Polo-1]

I'm just not having any luck selling this car...

So, looking into parting it out. Most of the miles are from spinning the tires on the lift. The whole car is new. Every part will be carefully removed and wrapped and boxed for shipping.

Start your wish list NCRS Lookers. This car has the white paper wraps on the vacuum lines, original oil filter, paper stickers with part #'s on them, on and on..........

Price on oil filter, center console, radio surround with power key and entire carpet.

Man, that's a damn shame to part out such a beautiful '90 Z, don't do it! I assume that financial issues are forcing your hand? Because otherwise, you really should hang onto it.

You might be kicking yourself in 10-15 years when pristine examples like that could be going for $50K-60K (maybe more, maybe less?). There can't be that many Z's with less than 200 miles on the clock. But if you are gonna part it:

Damnit Jeff, you beat me to the radio surround! I need one of those (mine is all cut up). Though, this one might be a little too pricey. How about price on the power steering reservoir, or are you gonna keep the engine and accessories together?

How much are you trying to sell it for that you will be ahead by parting it?

I find it hard to believe you would part out a perfect 20 year old ZR-1 with only less than 200 miles on it

Hopefully you are just frustrated and/or kidding

can not get anyone to offer more than $32 for it. So, carefully unbolt every part.

Have full box kit, and stickers, locking lug bag too.

Everything must go.

Jeff was hoping you could give some help on pricing like last car we did.

Don't get me wrong, I understand your frustration. I have another collector car that is 26 years old. For many years the market had these original $26k cars selling for $3k, maybe $7k for a prime example. Now ever though I was not selling, I just could not understand why no one was willing to pay a reasonable price for them. However the tide shifted and they started to go as high as what people paid for them new.
The moral of the story is that unless you are desperate to sell, you should not do anything rash. For that matter, how much do you realistically think you can get for it by parting it out, especially when you deduct the time you will put into the tear down, storage, effort to sell different parts, etc.?

I concur This is one decision given all the work to take it apart and ship parts just does not make sense to me You would have to sell $40 K or more in parts to make up for time and effort to net out your $32K

Price on the Hard Top if it is the same as a 91
And....price on clear top if that is the same as a 91.
