Re: Ruby ZR1 (VetBoyZR1)
I know the 93 ZR-1s are the most sought after ZR-1 but I have never really been in love with the color.
Also, for some reason some of the paint on the 93s starts to look pretty poor rather quickly if you don't take care of them. I think maybe some of them had clearcoat issues??

I think a few years ago, a low mileage ruby might bring $49K, but with todays depressed economy do you think the price is a bit high? I'm thinking 42-45 maybe - what do you think?

Re: Ruby ZR1 (cvette)
You guys are about right, it's worth is somewhere around $45K. The problem with low mileage ZR-1's is you paid all the money up front but as soon as you start driving it and putting some miles on it the price drops quickly. So you either buy it and store it or be prepare to take a hit if you drive it.

Re: Ruby ZR1 (SchoBro)
That seems to be the majority opinion here. Funny thing is, I mentioned that he had some high priced cars for sale. I never said they were overpriced, I just said they were expensive. If they are nice cars, they should be expensive. If you go over this thread, I again never said these cars were overpriced- everyone else did, but not me. He took exception to my comments. So as it stands, I wouldn't buy a fire extinguisher from this guy if my house was on fire.
