Default 2009 ZR1 only 45 miles!?

What do you guys think of this 2009 ZR1 with only 45 miles? Price seems high too me. I've been shopping for a new/low mile used one.

I wouldn't want a car thats only logged 45 miles in 5 years. That sounds like a recipe for cylinder wall/ring issues to me.

45 miles on a 2009 ZR1? Not the crime of the century but close.

Default ZR1 price

The price is high. I'm picking up my fully loaded 2013 today for less than this one is priced at.

I don't think I would be afraid of the car after cking it out but the price is way high.......... And count on those tires having flat spots for sure.

likely the seller is attempting to recover a price premium since it's a first-yr-of-production model...but worth investigating IMO. Biggest issue is no warranties...

Thats what I thought to. So little miles, no way to tell what if any warranty items may occur. Kind of a shame really.

OP, if the car checks-out, contact Dennis Fichtner about the non-GMPP warranty plans now available...
possibly you can buy appropriate coverage and reduce what you pay for the car by the cost thereof...

also, no launch control & PTM until the 2010 model, if that is important to you...

G-L !

I always liked the sienna interior, it goes very well with Cyber Grey...

..."but" for $88,900 they are about $15K too high on their asking price.

If that's "THE" color combo you have your heart set on, then it might be worth high $70's to the right buyer, high $60's to low $70's for everyone else.

Anyway you slice it...NICE CAR!!!

Good luck in your search.

I go back and forth on the interior. I'm with you, my first thought was $75ish but I bet that would insult them. I'm sure they are holding high for collectability. Not sure how long it's been on the market.

As far as the interior goes, it definitely looks closer to brown than orange in person, so it's a pretty neutral color. I saw it in a Black Z06 a few years back and thought it was an awesome interior.

$75K is a more then fair offer...

In fact it may be their highest offer yet...give it a try and walk if they say no.

if you can get past the interior, I also think low $70s plus maybe $2K-3K for a warranty...all-in for $75K ?

to the OP, when I was looking 1-1.5 years ago, that same car/same pictures was on the market and still is ?? something doesn't add up besides the high price. Personally I would stay away and it's $15k too high anyways

If I'm selling a 5 year old car with a claimed 45 miles, I'm probably going to put a picture of the odometer in the ad.
