Anyone see this? out near Luke AFB

it's the right color with big miles for a ZR1.

IIRC there are less than 60 total IO's made?

I'd buy it for 47

at any rate, great color, rare find.

DOOKEY

It's Carmax.


No-Haggle Price
$55,998*


So it will go for $55998 or not go.

I have been looking at zr1s for a while now. To me its a lot of miles to me and they have had it for a while. For 55 many guys will pass.

Evander Holyfield

I saw it too. Mileage scared me a bit at that price point. It's also modded- but who knows to what extent (engine intake box is not factory).

DOOKEY

It's your world champ.

Little high on the miles for my taste, but certainly a lot of life left in that car. If they decide to drop the price, it'll go quick...they wont sit on it forever.

blackvetterzo6

Wont even sell for 50k with that mileage

INTRCUL

Intake is OEM so more likely it's stock.

I think about 69 total IO's were made, I have one of them

slammin86

My dream car! Too many miles though. I have it's twin with a LS7...!

mrhead

Too many miles? LOL... Are these cars too fragile to be driven? I don't get it...

Jimnc

No, but there are many < 10k cars out there. I bought mine with 6k last year. Why buy a car with 50k when you can find a garage queen with 10% of that?

If it were blue I would be in debt.

MOTOWN Z

Looks nice , but with that milage its overpriced plain , and simple!

Zeake

What do you guys think this car is worth?

Looks like a super clean example. Worth is always a tough subject. A car is "worth" whatever someone is willing to pay, but that is a weak answer. Relative to other cars, same year, similar mileage, I think the price is ok. Of course adding tax, depending on where it will live, has to be considered. I paid $62k for a 2009 (private party) with 17000 miles in perfect condition. Some might think that's too much, but to me it was worth it. I caveat that price with the fact that when I say mine was a perfect car, it literally was a perfect car, without a single scratch anywhere to be found. Lived as a show car. I also subscribe to the "You only live once" mantra and these cars are such bargains for the performance they bring, plus they are rare. I say go for it. I've seen 2009s lower priced than mine, but not for a single second do I second guess the purchase. I am absolutely in love with the car.

Hate to bring up an old thread, but I just drove this car now that it's been shipped around the country (several CarMax transfers). Everyone has their own opinion, but this car is not worth what they're asking. It's been on the market since August and transferred many times (but not sold) for a reason.

and that reason being what exactly? price?

I can go down the list of things I saw and felt while driving:

• Gouge in the driver's door exposing raw fiberglass
• Cigarette burn in the driver's side carpet to the left of the driver's seat
• Traction control button so "sticky" you could barely press it... after it was pressed, it wouldn't return to it's original position. You could tell that soda or some other type of liquid had been on that center console for a long while.
• Clutch fluid was probably the dirtiest I've ever seen on any C6
• Pretty nasty curb rash on two of the wheels
• Several paint chips in the usual areas but they did not do a good job with the spot correction
• Weird acceleration lag (I've driven plenty of ZR1s and know how they should feel) that I can't quite pinpoint. Throttle response was weak.

Again, anyone can argue if those things should be expected based on that mileage, but I would be surprised if that car sold at that price given what other ZR1s in better condition are selling for.

Not to mention that Carmax absolutely could not tell me the history of where the car had been SINCE CARMAX AQUIRED IT. It took weeks of talking to everyone (including management) and never got a straight answer.

Some said they "just got the car in" other Carmax employees said "there's no way it was in Arizona" until I showed them proof. All of the employees claimed that it wasn't even for sale in August, until I showed them proof again. Long story of everyone I talked to at multiple Carmax's trying to get what I thought would be basic information. They came across as trying to hide things. They aren't the kind of place that is prepared to deal with "car guys." They specialize in volume.

Unfortunately for them, they will end up losing money on this car. That's why I said it's not worth what they're asking for it.

I didn't mind losing my $600 transfer fee to go buy a decent condition ZR1 from somewhere else that wasn't trying to hide things. Mileage doesn't scare me. But the incompetency of the dealership and condition of the vehicle made it an easy decision to walk away from.

My buddy has just listed his it's very clean.

thanks for the response. This is exactly why i didn't buy an atomic orange Z06 from carmax. It had some major blemishes that I kept pointing out. One of the saleman told me loudly that if I wanted a perfect car that I should go buy a new one. I replied to him that he could go **** himself and left immediately.
