Added up, these troubles could add up to $10K at current shop prices. And I can hear myself telling them, "You can't even GET a ZR-1 windshield anymore".

I guess I've been spending too much time watching Richard Rawlings on TV bargain for cars, but you shouldn't be paying top dollar for this one. Work it dude!

Bob,

Yeah, wrote this one off earlier in the week and told the dealer so… and the things we found. They didn't want to come down 4-5k. That's OK. There are many '90s out there and many look much better for the $.

I don't mind working on these beauties. Just prefer driving it right away, as that is the intention of owning it!

Cheers,
G
