2011 Inferno Orange ZR1 in Phoenix at Carmax, 50k miles, what will it bring??

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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