Here's What's Happening to some of the Cars That Sell Cheap

[QB93Z]

"My point was, these cars are worth more than the sellers on ebay are getting for them..."

The definition of what a car is worth is the price that a willing seller and a willing buyer agree on to make a transaction in a free market.

I understand your desire to have the selling prices to be higher, but just saying it is so doesn't make it so.

I'll ask again, what do you suggest that the seller do to get a higher price?

A: HI, DON'T WANT TO BE RUDE BUT! 1 THE CAR HAS 49K NOT 149K. 2 NEW ZR1 IS COMING OUT AND WILL REIGNITE THE MARKET FOR OLDER ZR1 CARS 3. A WHOLESALER...more

my experiences also. My 2 bidders that seemed serious didnt bid mine up past 8 or 9k if I remember right. Semi serious buyer for engine didnt want to pay more than 3500 for a 5k mile LT5. Maybe Im blind and really have an L98 under the hood?

These are ZR1 Corvettes folks! . They are common place to us as we own them, see them and each other online all the time but in the end we all own one of "those Vettes you never see". THey are pretyy darn rare in general even though its easy to take one for granted and look at the pitfalls (some parts, gougers, etc). It may be a C4 but its the best one ever built IMO yet people still throw these things away. Would have loved to have that dark red met. 90. MM!

It may have been a minor point but the ebay seller could not or would not provide any background on the car. I ran a full VIN check and it came up good. It had done about 13k miles in past 9 years. But as for previous owners history (unless someone knew it here) or service history, or any original vehicle docs.....well it just didnt seem to have any (as said the dealer couldnt/wouldnt provide any info), and without that kind of info (no matter what the mileage) you take a risk buying a car for what should be book....but what that one went for was still a steal
