I'm learning more and more about ZR1s as I go through my search for a one to buy for myself, but I have a question that is probably a silly/stupid one -- but how can I tell if a 2012 ZR1 has the 3ZR package (what's the tell tale visual signs)? Or did 2012s still even still have different package offerings?

Dvd navigation in the dash.

I believe the only way you could get the 3ZR was with the DVD in dash.

Bluetooth and navigation are standard on the 3ZR, and optional 1ZR.

However the Universal Home Remote, telescoping wheel, and the Bose system are only available on the 3ZR. If it has any of these it is a 3ZR.

This is GREAT. Thanks, guys!

Actually, neither the navigation or the bluetooth are optional for the 1ZR package.

So, i have a chance to buy a 2012 1zr CGM (16000 miles) for about $3500 less than a 2009 3zr JSB (12000 miles). These are my 2 favorite colors on the zr1. Which would you buy?

I'd say the 2012 for sure.

16k miles on a 2012 and a 1ZR, I'd pass on that.

Look for the heated seat buttons. Only 3ZR has heated seats. If it has 16k miles make sure your price is relative to that mileage.

Best of luck

2012 1zr, 3 years newer, for less... you can always add some of the options later... I used to have a 3lz z06 and went for a 1zr, i have yet to miss any options... perhaps the leather wraped dash... which i could add... any aftermarket sound system would blow any stocker... heated seats i think the harness is there in the 1zr so you probably can add it.

I had 1lz ZO6 and when I went to sell I found out the 1lz doesn't move as quick or bring the same money.

Buy a 3lz!

I would skip 1ZR, even though if its a newer car IMO.

wrapped leather dash would probably be the only thing that would drive me to get the 3LZ, not 100% impressed with the audio system / nav so after market would be nice.

my thoughts as well, and for 5k you can buy the dash and door panels from gm (that's retail price, perhaps alot less if you shop around).

1zr is lighter, so there lol

The 3ZR is a much nicer car inside - it depends on how much value you place on interior comfort. I've had 1ZR, 2ZR and 3ZR cars. I like the 3ZR the best, but it certainly doesn't bother me to drive a 1ZR.

I guess what I'm saying is, it's personal preference.

If both are in the same condition for cosmetic damage that can't be avoided in minimal degrees, I'd also consider the condition of tires and whether there was a clear film protection on either. Those two items can easily exceed $5K.

If all things are relatively equal, I'd take the 2012. My opinion is mainly due resale potential, the navigation system being outdated, and the Bose sound system in my Suburban greatly exceeding the Bose system in my ZR1.

The 2012 is still in warranty!
