Default Value of a 1991 ZR1 w/ 70K miles

I was wondering the value of a 1991 ZR1 with approx. 70,000 miles. White in color. The car appears to be in good to very good condition. Thanks.

Probably no more than $20K at this point. Need to look it over good and look for any issues it may have.

I bought one on Ebay last month - I paid under 16 and got a great daily driver that has a bunch of small issues and one kind of big one - (transmission is on it's way out - and might last another year.) For this kind of money, I did not get the extra top nor did I get any manuals or documentation. But I did get a very fast and seemingly reliable car that is also the most fun car I've ever owned.

I think you get what you pay for and I took a chance on a low priced car and got more than I expected.

don't knwo if this helps - but I just felt I was buyignt he "right " car for me when I bid for it. And I'm not one bit sorry.

The white car on Ebay has had front end work, spacer between turn lamps and driving lights should be black. Mismatched tires, the seat side bolsters & lumbar support don't work. I was figuring that car is going to hit 14-15K before the auction is done.

It's very obvious ; often it just jumps out of second and third gears. I'm guessing the forks are bent. It's very driveable now , so I can drive through til spring before worrying about that but I'll konw at the first event whether I can last through the season autocrossing or need to replace it.

Oh, and it's a 91 with about 74000 now.

This car is questionable. Seats are out of a 1996 CE, not 1991. Front end light spacers should be black.Plus that ugly spoiler..

Which is why the side bolsters and lumbar don't work.

Have you guys seen what some people want for L98s and LT1s of the same vintage as our ZR-1s

I think any ZR1 should be over 20K but thats my personal opinion

I think it will hit $16,500

It's alittle rough looking Paint, Bumper, Wing, high mileage.

Funny thing is a guy with a nice one has to fight it out to get 22k

around $18000 tops. i personally wouldnt pay anymore. 70000 miles seems high esp. for a Z.

70,000 is nothing for a ZR-1

thats what i hear all the time. i also hear 150000 miles is nothing. i would expect alot of miles for an LT5 because when it comes to rebuild time, its alot of $$$$. one of the only downfalls to this great motor is how much it costs for a rebuild or a stroker. how much is a stroker crank again?

yes modding the ZR-1 isn't cheap and it's not for everyone. If you don't like the prices of mods for the ZR-1 don't buy one. It's that simple
