IMO you need to negotiate the price of the new car first, without a trade...the dealer can shift $ around a bit
and get you to leave a few bucks on their table.
then you should first value your trade at the average of sites like Edmunds, NADA Guides, KBB to get a better
idea of its "trade-in value" ...
I'm looking at a never titled, never driven 2013 ZR1. Asking price $107 K. I've been told the first 100K buys it. It is a Cyber Gray 3ZR.
Opinions / Advice????
I ll sell you my 2011 which i guarantee is in as new condition with 2800 miles for $73000 thats a $27000 saving.You need to be nuts to pay $100 000.The minute you drive that car out of the dealership it becomes a used car.I d say maximum $90 000.I am assuming you will be driving the car of course.

I am one who believes the Zr1 though it will dip in price in the short term,
may stabilize and even bounce back a little in the long run.The reason for me thinking that way is simple,they only made 4700 in the five year run.Low mileage,unmolested examples will become somewhat of a rarity so if this is the car you desire make your move now.That being said $100 000 is way too much money.
Personally myself I don't think these cars will be going up in price or if it ever will at all. Maybe they'll level out and not slide as deep and hard, but going up I doubt it, I don't think so. Cars are just a poor investments. You buy them because you like them as their just a hobby and you have some disposable income. Real Estate are good investments.
Back in 2007 when I sold my 1995 ZR-1 Aqua with the Dunn Heads that is kind of rare. I have owned the car for 7 years and when I heard the new ZR1’s coming down the pipeline I sold it quickly before I had to take any more loss. In 2009 as the C6 ZR1’s became available and the economy was tanking I didn’t even flinch as I went out and bought 3 foreclosures homes between the years of 2010-2011 that was one of the better moves I made. Today my houses are close to doubling in price for what I have paid. My thoughts were to land one of these cars after I sold mines but after taking a good look at history I said to myself and I’m going to do something different even as much as I would like to have one of these. I have worked in the auto industry since 1979 and I have seen all kind of cars come and go. When the Ford GT was first out in 2005 I sold one at my dealership. Sticker on these cars were at $159,000 and guys were paying close to $300K. I haven’t kept up with their market because I’m not really a Ford hobbyist but after the smoke cleared if any car would have gone up I think that would have been the ones. You buy these cars for a fun hobby and not hope of them going up in price because it may be a disappointment.

Take the time to watch what some of the older ferraris and even recent ford Gt s are doing at auctions and you d be hard pressed to find a better investment.Certain old american muscle cars ere bringing big bucks as well.There is big money to make with the right cars.Hemi ,440 and even 340 mopars are another example of cars rising in value at a ridiculous rate.Should G.M flood the market with the c7 vettes you just might see the zr1 get a boost in resale value.Its all about supply and demand .
What do you think the chances of these cars going for that and how long will that take. I have almost doubled my money in houses in 5 years, do you think you can do that on your car?

I said you were not quite right and i maintain my position.Read carefully.I said there are many examples of cars values rising and cited some of those examples.Do i see the zr1 as a car that will rise in value at an astronomical rate?Absolutely not.All i am saying is that they may get a boost in value after falling off lately.As for you properties i am thrilled for you and yes that is the safest and best investment.For the record i might add that some cars from the sixties and seventies are now fetching seven figure price tags if they have the right combination of engine and options.That my friend is also pretty good return on your money.It does however usually take longer than real estate to cash in on the profit made.
