Default Fair trade in price (or private sale) for ZR1

Well, I am thinking of trading in my ZR1

looking at:

Shelby GT350
C7 Grand Sport with Z07 pkg
Porsche GT4
Viper ACR

my car:

2011 Arctic White 3ZR
15,000 miles
LPE 710 kit with ported TB
Intercooler Brick mod
ARH LT headers
Moroso catch can/air-oil separator
Caravaggio Daytona black leather/alcantara Carbon fiber seats
Caravaggio leather e-brake and boot with matching stitch
Caravaggio leather shift boot and shifter **** with matching stitch
MGW short throw shifter
Vitesse throttle switch
Mild to wild switch
Katech under tray and brake spindle ducts
C7 carbon full length carbon fiber spoiler
WCC carbon fiber lower diffuser
Lloyds ZR1 floor mats
Extra set of Speedline Cup wheels in satin black


what do you guys think is a fair trade in for any of the above cars?

I have had trade offers from $60k-$69k (I will let you guess which dealer offered what!)

You're downgrading with all but the ACR.
Also, your car is worth a lot of money, very nicely done. I would keep the car as it would be hard to get more than $80k the way the market is right now.
Finance the ACR !!

I would recommend you drive the GT3...on the streets (normal driving conditions) feels slow and boring. GT3s have to be driven past 5.5k rpm for them to wake up.
458...wait a little bit. You might get 2 for the price of 1 hahaha

haha...this is my garage...GT3 is anything but boring and is UNSTOPPABLE on track...458 is ridiculous but is for my wife as she thinks the ZR1 and GT3 are too low and too loud

991 GT3 is without doubt, the best all around sports car I have ever driven.


That includes the two beaters above as well as 997 GT3's, 991 TT's, Aston Martin Vantage, McLaren MP4-12c, MB SLS, Nissan GT-R, Lamborghini Gallardo SL and Aventador.

I would demod it and get whatever I could out of the parts. Probably an easy 10k in parts right there. Then trade it in for the same value they are offering. I would think its worth 65-70k trade value.

The car is superbly & uniquely done with all the mods/after-market improvements...seems a crime to take it apart, as the re-sale market
will not pay for the upgrades, unless you find that one buyer who wants the car exactly as is and understands what's behind all of the same.

If it were me, I'd find a way to keep it...

(nice fleet,b-t-w ! )

Considering what you have right now, unless you need to go to the track and beat almost everyone or just go out to the streets and intimidate the hell out of everyone, trade it in for the ACR. Otherwise, enjoy the ZR1 some more. It's one of the best all around sports car out there.
That's my suggestion.

I have no suggestions, as I really doubt you'll get much if anything at all, more than what you were already offered.

i have storage off site at my buddies race shop.
just becomes a pain to swap out cars as it is 30 minutes away and the shop is always busy with race car maintenance


I really wanted a (less expensive consumables) track day car, but also one that I could daily drive if I felt like it...thats why the GT4 and Grand Sport seem more practical than the ACR
I love the ZR1 but have had it for 6 years and am ready to move on.
