Need your opinion on a ZR1
Hey guys! A possible deal came up near me to own a 2011 ZR1; however, I wanted to get your thoughts before I make an “educated” offer.
As a little backstory, the C6 Z06 I have owned was purchased at 180k miles on the odo for 19k — clean title! I absolutely love these “crazy deals” and haven’t had any problems with the car at all. Granted, it isn’t a show car by any means, but I have taken it to the track and have kept up with preventative maintenance items and it hasn’t left me stranded (yet!).
That being said, a local ZR1 with 75k miles on the odo has come up near me but I can’t seem to figure out how much to offer — this is also due to a minor carfax accident that has been reported too. In this, the bumper cover, carbon splitter and lower radiator hose had to be replaced...
So, how much would you guys value this at? I was thinking 38-40k possibly? But I haven’t been able to find any comparables to both a high mile and accident tainted ZR1...
Thanks in advance for your guys’ help!

Thanks for your quick reply! I actually have tried to find a book value for it and have come up empty handed... I think this is because there isn't much recorded history of ZR1s selling with over 50k miles on the odo? Hence why I'm trying to find what an appropriate value would be for this car. Thanks again!
Best,
Steven

$38K might be a stretch, but definitely something in the lower $40k's should get you the car. This guy purchased a 2011 IO ZR1 w/50K miles for $49K about year and a half ago. It sat around at Carmax for a while until they got serious about the price. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-io-zr1-2.html

Thanks for sending me this link! It definitely is nice to see another high mile ZR1 out there.
On another note, I know there is a difference in price when purchasing the same car either private party, or at a dealership. Additionally, with 25k extra miles and an accident report history, would this only "depreciate" the value of the ZR1 I'm interested in by only 5-8k? I suppose I am just amazed how robust these cars keep value! Thanks for the reply and advice!

I would think $40-45k. If you can get it for low 40s, that's a heck of a deal if the car is clean.
Also, there's a guy on here (can't remember his name) who lives in Florida and has over 100k on his ZR1. They're great engines. If the car was properly maintained, the mileage shouldn't be a factor at all.

I would start at $40k. Part of the "robust" residual value can certainly be attributed to the low production numbers...somewhere just shy of 4700 car total.

I'm really enjoying the car.

I think you are in the ball park. $45k is my middle of the road guess. You can't build a comparable car with this much performance for the money. That sounds like a pretty minor accident and should not detract much when you combine it with that kind of mileage. The overall condition and color of the vehicle would probably drive the price more than the mileage. At the end of the day with these cars it more about what someone is willing to pay for it.
