Default Re: Value of ZR-1

I've had my ZR1 for 9 months now and appreciate the performance, rarity and how the LT5 really attracts attention at car shows. Hear this many times "I've heard of this car but never have seen one in person"

The ZR1 reminds me of another super car I owned back in 95 - An 89 Porsche 928s. Another super car of it's time. The older gentleman that I bought the car gave me some thoughtful advice "Son, you are buying a $75,000 supercar for $12,500 now but your repairs will be your monthly payments." The next month the starter went out and cost me $450 at that time alot! Expensive parts and repairs, especially if you can't do them all by yourself. Not sure if this is one of the reasons of the dropping prices?

I paid $16,500 while the previous owner (a ZR1 Registry Founding Member) started by asking $24,000.

Just enjoy the experience!

I certainly didn't steal mine but I don't care. Comparable cars of the day are 100k now. It is fun raw power of the day. I am sure like the 70's vettes, this will go up in value. It is lumped in the c4 sea of average cars. I remember the dealers were selling this car for 100k plus and as a young dumb kid with no money, I drooled to own one. Here I buy one with 23k miles that is almost new for a fraction. I am sure I won't be getting rid of it any time soon and the values will only go up. I don't even give a crap because I bought it to have fun and have good memories using it. That's why we are all here-to contribute to society and have some fun along the way.

Let's see what happens when Chevrolet releases the 2018 ZR1 with the NEW LT5 powerplant. The LT5 is the brand that could be a game changer to increase value. Of course it will never look as good...

At this point we all didn't buy this car to make millions. I bought it to have fun with my family. If I put on 10k miles and have a great time for 10 years and don't make a dime, I will be happy. If it goes through the roof in value, I will be ecstatic. Might have to buy two of them.
