Today I drove my Z to carmax for n appraisal - they made an offer of $13,000. The appraiser was very impressed with the condition and the mileage, but had a very hard time trying to ascertain a valuation. Anyway to make a long story short I will be selling it to them because I just don't drive it enough. If anyone here wants it, you need to better that price and provide a smooth sales transaction. Here are the details pertaining to my car:

White exterior/Gray interior
37K Miles
Corsa Exhausts
Nice inside and out (pictures available on request). Also I have the appraisal from carmax available.

your car is worth much more than that, try listing it here.

ZR-71

you'll get more interest on the Forum. I've seen your CL ads and a little surprised you haven't sold it yet.

Sal,

I would find a way to post pics rather than wait for someone to ask. Also, go over to the Registry at zr1.net.

I had tire kicking, lowballers offer me $15k on Craigslist for mine (similar mileage). At least try for 2 weeks to sell it yourself.

Carmax is just going to turn around and sell it for $20,000. Don't give them the chance to do that!

I appreciate the input, but I've tried to offer it for sale before - all I draw are very strange clowns trying to low-ball me. It's odd how I have people tell me how impressed they are with the car on the forum and in person, but yet nobody makes a move unless they get it for a steal. The best one yet was some freak that keeps emailing me every 3 months for 3 years saying he wants to buy it - I'm so done with these nut-jobs. I wanted to buy a newer vette, that's the only reason I'm selling it. I'll place it on CL for one last time but I have 6 days to sell it - on that last day its sold to CARMAX.

PS, this is a documented 1 owner car - you don't see that very often with these cars.

If Carmax will give you $13k, then you should try to sell it for $16k straight up. It'll likely fly off the forum.

If I had the garage space I'd make the offer right now, but my wife and I already park outside so the two vettes can have the garage.....

I have a 92 and 88 already so my wife is a keeper. Third though? Even though it's a Z I bet she would kill me. lol

I have sold cars through forums before, but it was a regional one so it was really more of a local sale. I would not even put it here. Most people use CL, ebay or autotrader when they are doing a national or regional search. A lot of east coast people might be interested, but the cost of the logistics eliminates most people from taking action.

mostly your timing is bad. I would have jumped all over your car, but i had purchased mine 6 months before you thru out your first inquiry/teaser to sell it. Also, we both live in very expensive housing markets and finding a cash buyer for an antique toy is challenging. C4's often take 90 days to sell.

hi Sal how old are the tires? Jay

sal826

The tires are about 5 years old - no cracking or much wear.

Mike100 you are correct about the East coasters. That car would be gone at least 2 times over if it were in the Southeast, because I thought about it myself as well as another unnamed forum member who saw it yesterday, but the shipping is the killer.

I just shipped my Camaro here from So Cal....$1800 enclosed, and it was here 4 days after they picked it up.

Add that to the new GA title tax, and that's why it's not in my garage now.

Dominic Sorresso

Sal,

I would absolutely post your car on the registry. It looks great and I'm pretty certain it would bring more than the 13k.

Inkredible

If that car was in the Northeast, it would already be in my garage!!

Anyone near there that could look at it for me?

it's only worth what someone will pay, as someone who's been researching values he's leaving some money on the table but he also won't have to hold onto it for a year either

Gunho

It's a SIN not to drive that car! There's a special place in hell for people like that. Sell it to me for $1.00 and I will drive it like I stole it!

zr-1 guy

it's really not, and there's really not. It's a car, no more no less
