'94 ZR-1 Sold on Cars & Bids in October-commentary

[RA42]

Thanks Marty. Just trying to do my homework. I totally understand the mechanicals will go to MH and in my head have planned a placeholder on that cost. What I have now concluded is what the pictures don't show me regarding the paint, which admittedly concerns me as there is a ding in the fiberglass on the outer drivers door sill. I prefer not to repaint either A low mile example is a requirement of mine. Short of extreme low mile examples which I can not justify the price of at this moment (my only real data points are recent prices at auctions etc for sub 5k mile cars)this hits where I want with the exception being it is a barn find. On the flip side, someone needs to preserve this car right? Or at the very least bring it back to an operating life. All things being considered the gentleman selling it is certainly not thinking of it as a "barn find" of a vehicle that has yet to undergo significant appreciation...which it may or may not. He definitely has a very lofty opinion of the value. So I am just wanting to be fair but not stupid either and as a newbie I will probably end up being the later.

I have considered asking the community for leads on a car but suspect the price will require budget approval from my bride. If this car can be bought fairly then I can swing that without much fanfare and then pay for the repairs as it comes with MH. In other words too big of a check at once will get me the death stare....

Really appreciate you taking the time to help me.

If the paint has been correctly cared for, they ARE stunning and the pictures on BAT highlight that. On the other hand, I have seen 40th Anniversary cars that didn't age very well at all.

Crazy for $86,000. Is that a new market high?

Hey Lisounds, I didn't check VIN numbers...that wasn't your car that you had for sale was it? ...I am pretty lazy to check when on my phone and haven't been real active on here lately. If so, congrats on a good sale!

No...my bad. This car came out of Colorado, not NY.

That's because they're drop dead gorgeous - as we both know!
