Trade Advice - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Hammer · 06-12-2009

Well folks, looks like I might be trading the ZR-1 for a 1993 40th Vert. The car has 80k on it and it needs a little TLC but is in overall good shape. The vert is for my wife. I know we can put this together but what kind of monetary difference do you all think I should be looking for to make this a nice deal?

John keep the Z and buy her a C5

Aurora40 · 06-12-2009

Is the car loaded up with options? Also, it's a ruby anniversary car, or just a "40th" by virtue of being a '93 model?

I'd think a ruby loaded model in similar condition/mileage to your Z, you should expect a couple/few grand out of it. I think you may be at a disadvantage in that Z's are a bit of a tough sell now, and convertibles are always easier to sell.

My two cents.

Hi John,

Not a bad idea, but I might be inclined to go for a C5 as mentioned above. And as far as trade, I'd think 2k to you would a good deal. Nobody has to tell you its a tough time to sell a ZR-1. Good luck and keep us posted.

I agree with the guy's above. Get your wifee a C5 convertable. Make sure it has the power top option. My wifee has one (C5 vert) and loves it. Oh the car is more reliable than a taxi cab. And gets 17mpg around town , 28mpg on the highway , this is with the performance axle also.

trading the ZR-1 you have for sale for the 93 right?

Meaning you will have the 93 and your ZR-1?

if so, that would work for me

LGAFF · 06-12-2009

Put an automatic in the Z and take the top off

GrayZ · 06-12-2009

Keep both ZR1's

talk to your bank, and work out some easy payment plans
for soon to be new to her,..... car, of her choice.

get your wifey a second job.

which in turn will give you more time, that you will
need to drive both of your Beasts

....why would you trade a zr-1 for a lt1 auto 93?

tccrab · 06-12-2009

Let me see if I got this right.

..
.
You want to trade YOUR ZR1 for a plain old '93 'vert to give to your wife.

If It were my wife, I'd tell her to find a new hubby who already has a 'vert.
Just sayin'.

Both my sons have asked who would get the ZR1 when I head off to be big drag race in the sky.
I told them they'd have to pry the keys out of my COLD STIFF FINGERS
