Any Canadian sellers this spring?

[cv147]

Looking for a ZR-1 this spring/summer if the price is right. I would pick up from BC to Ontario if I found the perfect car. Just wanted to test the waters for any possibilities...1991 would be ideal!

Thanks,
Cam

I know two 94's that could be available in the Toronto area.

Thanks for letting me know.

I know asking for a 91 is pretty specific given how few ZR-1's seem available up here, but I'm looking at the 20k range for price. I'm sure those would be much much more!

Don't really know any 91's around my area..., let alone any for sale but I'll keep my eye's open for you

I'd appreciate it.

Still have to sell my current ride before I can afford a Z, my greatest fear is I'll miss out on a great car cause I haven't sold mine yet.

You are close in price for one of them. I'll get you some details in the next couple of days.

With our dollar it's a no brainer to shop south of the border. Better selection and all the Z's are now 15 years old so you can avoid the RIV hassle as well. My experience is most guys with 90-91's think they are worth way more in Canada then the equivalent car in the US.

To each their own if you really want a Z49 car however.

Any idea what colour? I have yet to see another '95 in the Toronto area.

Have to agree on this, but from what I've seen it's not just ZR-1s - Canadian vette owners in general seem to have an inflated idea of what their cars are worth.

Mine's a '91 by the way and I'll sell it to you for $2 million (Canadian!) - not going with my previous statement, just a sign that I'd never sell it.

Good look on your search!

I'd consider going south of the border, but until recently our dollar didn't permit that. Plus, you pay 2 taxes, and god knows whatever else they add on.

I would have to agree on inflated prices up here, and not just on Vettes. I definitely overpaid on my 91 Firebird, simply because I was younger and REALLY wanted it. Still, it got me into cars and has been fun. Now I want to upgrade.

Usually cars are way cheaper in Ontario than here, I found a nice ZR-1 on the trader last fall right in my range, but had yet to sell my car. Not sure if it will still be for sale this spring.

Anyone with experiance bringing a car across the border?

Thanks for any details JeffVette.
