the mike100 has a C4 again
Came last night on a trailer: 1991 ZR-1 26k miles.
I posted this pic at CF-so far nobody has noticed my friend giving me the bird from the passenger seat. interior is immaculate-I don't use that word loosely with used cars either. couple more below... The bad news is that the pass. door got screwed up when the car shifted in the trailer it was in...got a discount- enough to get the bottom of the door repainted. Also I have to fix an oil cooler line leak that is common to the LT5. Trying to get it ship-shape in the next week or so. |

hopefully I'll find time to get the new tires mounted soon. I took my chances on my midnight shakedown run last night with 10-15 year old rubber...lets just say the ABS works. gotta spend some quality time in the DMV before the week is out too.

about $20k. I went back and forth about getting nothing, getting another LT1 car of some sort for half the price, or a ZR-1 that wasn't too damn much.
I even thought about cashing out my '08 C6 and putting all the money towards a C6-Z06, but no way I'm gonna give Cali that kind of tax and lic money. The planets really aligned for me to have the C6, that deal is not going to repeat soon- so I'm still happy with it. The one thing that remains to be seen is if the C4-ZR market is bottomed out or if they will continue to depreciate to the $5k-$10k range. In some ways I think they could as they are still a quirky, ill-constructed, 90's era GM car- although there is a minimum level due to part-out value. |

Mike, I agree. The Corvette Tax in CA is crazy. Buy a E-Force Edelbrock S/C and hook and gab!

oh, believe me, I thought about that too. Not gonna be able to buy any more toys this year though. Probably will take me 6 months to get this new car in order- which is fine...it will keep me busy. dumb stuff like fixing the radio, a couple of odds and ends that all the C4's need. still have to pay for the tires and sales tax...kind of takes the wind out of your wallet's sails.

Nice find Mike, If I were ever to look for another C4 a Z would be on my list as well.
