History:
Bought new in Minnesota. Sold used to Tomah, WI. I purchased in 2008 and brought it here. No Major Accidents that I am aware of nor have I seen any indication of. Previous owner did hit something that necessitated the replacement of the right headlight, directional lens, and grill.

 

Being a ZR2 makes it interesting but FWIW I recently sold my 97 Jimmy (non-ZR2/highrider) that was in slightly better condition with a similar repair list and rebuilt engine with all receipts and 180K on the body for $1,800... Id say real world you're looking at about $1,500 to the right buyer.

 

Thanks for the honesty. Helps me to make some decisions.

 

I was thinking about $1400 actual sell price. 3000 got me a 100k zr2 with minimal issues. no rust anywhere.

 

yeah im kinda agreeing. maybe throw 2-2500 on it and see if anyone throws you a bone.

 

best bone I got was $1200. Trans work alone cost more than that. And that was just a basic rebuild with a little tweaking. Being that I live where they use salt, I've decided to use it as a winter vehicle and save the new truck. I'll run it until I wear out the tires or blow then engine and then part it out. It appears that it is now worth more dead then alive.

 

With cars, as everyone knows, Yeah the trans work cost more than that alone, but you will NEVER get what you put into a car, ever..

 

Its kinda sad that a person can dump loads of money into these vehicles and still be on the back side of a profit....example I own a 2000 GMC Envoy top of the line as far as options go..
Then installed a $2200 lift $1200 in tires and wheels .tons of mods...in great shape...and still not worth the price of the lift installed...just sad

 

I'd say the condition of the body you're talking like 700 to your average joe. Kick some of that rust off, and bondo it, you should be able to clear 1300. Nobody wants to see rusty rockers. Especially where you have a lot of salt... once it gets in there, it's like sheet metal termites.

 

Thats how it goes. Like new cars. The second it leaves the dealership the value plummets
