And everyone _waiting_ for this to be $55k... That's fine, and its your $$ and its your time. You might not live in an area where you can drive the car this time of year anyway.
And sure they are going to come down a little more in price. But the car is worth more _today_ than it will be in a year. If you want to wait a year to find a mint condition, immaculately kept car, that's great too. Comparing what it is worth _now_ til the time you are serious to buy is absurd.

No kidding. The seller graciously declined the offer.

damn rocket ship.
They made a good amount of them, but 4k certainly isnt a huge number. Not that its apples to apples, but you dont see many 40k vipers out there from any gen that are low miles or turbo Porsches, or gtrs.
These zr1s are an absolute steal. I often think about what to get next and there is nothing out there worth upgrading to thats not 25k more.

The OP asked for ideas on pricing. Lots of suggestions provided. One cash offer provided. OP didn’t accept the cash offer.
Which one of you advising 60’s plus is buying?
Bottom line. Anything selling is worth what soneone else pays for it.
OP. You obviously have a figure that you would accept. Make it public and you will see if you are right.
Great looking car. GLWS.

You get what you pay for.
I just bought one 2 months ago, so I'm no longer in the market, but this looks to be an amazing car in extremely well-kept condition.
In the end, you are right... all we are doing here is giving advice (buyers want him to accept $50k, others who are either not in the market or already have a car are saying $60+k). OP needs to set a price, if he really wants to move it. This is just one data point in his research to find a fair price to move the car in the winter time.

I could be wrong, but at 50-60k I don't see anything remotely close to a zr1 as far as value for what you get and don't see them getting much cheaper. Yeah the interior is crap, but the car itself is beautiful and a
damn rocket ship.

As you said, what are you going to get that is comparable in this price range? And to that I say, why wait and whine over a few $k. Seriously. The longer you wait, you risk missing out on a perfect car, and you're not driving it.

I hope this isn't considered a "dick move" but the forum rules clearly state that a For Sale thread must list a price, this thread does not. I know someone seriously shopping for a nice low mileage ZR1, this one seems to fit the bill:
3. Best Offers & Gauging Interest
The forum will permit "OBO" or "serious offers" in a sale thread where a price has been stipulated.
We will not permit threads where no price is stated, and asks for open offers. Low ball offers that are clearly ridiculous in nature, will be considered a violation of the forum rule pertaining to "Interference in a for sale," thread:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1118176
Members are not permitted to "gauge interest," in their item for sale thread. Such threads will create an ebay type auction, and that is unacceptable. Sellers must create their thread with an asking price included.
Only forum vendors are permitted to gauge interest in their products.
**NOTE** Supporting vendors sometimes offer prices that are below that recommended by manufacturers, so we allow them to post threads without a price and to ask people to contact them by phone or PM for the price. We extend the same courtesy to our supporting dealers, even though in most cases it is advantageous for them to post a price.

I'm in the market for a ZR1, but not a 2009. Even though your ZR is very nice, it isn't worth over 60K even with very low miles. Example, I just saw a 2011, 3ZR, 4,400 miles and very nice like yours for $59K which is an awesome price. The car was already sold when I called about it. I think 55K would be a fair price, but it's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Good luck with your sale.

I'm surprised the thread has been around this long. It sounds like he is fishing for the best offer and obviously getting offers so is just waiting around for an auction type sale offer. It all depends on your market for selling a nine year old car at this price.

imo: really on the clock with the new ZR1 near. putting 55k-60k
toward an older car instead of a newer one(offering auto tranny, vert) and a warranty) may give potential buyers 2nd thoughts.
Afraid i'd be one one of them
i'd take the highest offer in the next few weeks and put the money toward the new ZR1 IF YOU PLAN TO REALLY DRIVE IT this time.
Or I'd take that cash and stash it until the ME arrives IF YOU PLAN TO REALLY DRIVE IT.
REALLY GREAT CAR
