There are quite a few problems with this car that bring it's value down. Not massive issues that would make you walk away, but even if you bought it for $12K you could have way over $20K in it before it was sorted out.

Unless you have the time, inclination, and skills to rehab a ZR-1, I'd buy a fresher one to start with. As this one does not have a dirt cheap price tag.

BTW, that long crank startup problem, aside from the noise, could be the fuel pumps. I recently replaced mine, and it cured that immediately.


Very, very good advice!
Steal a 25k car for 20, rather than getting a 12k car and putting 8 into it.
You will be much farther ahead doing it that way!
There are some very good and very well priced cars out there!
