914 prices seem to be holding their own.... now is a good time to sell.

As to the question of should you sell? Only you can answer that question.

Hey Robert, come to the Camp Out or the Red Rock Classic and ask that quesstion again. The last time I saw you in the car you had grin on your face. Use it before you can't drive it.

NO! Unless you absolutely need the money. Or put some more reasons at to why you are considering it

Every time I think of selling, I ask myself what would I do with the money instead? Can't really come up with a better way to keep the money, so I continue to keep the car. Though 911s have come and gone, it's been 35 years for the 914-6 so far.

Do you still get pleasure from the car? If no - sell it.
Do you need money for something important? If yes - sell it.
Are you no longer able to do the maintenance or it is no longer fun to work on? - sell it.

These cars in decent shape are getting decent money right now. If yours is not Swiss cheese...

However, if you still enjoy the car, then keep it. Once yOu have them running right they are not that expensive to house and feed.

You guys are right The car is so much fun to drive. i get dumb ideas sometimes. go to keep it , what,s wrong with 3
cars?

3 cars, my wife would be thrilled if I reduced the fleet to that number

Having owned more cars than I can keep count of, I recognize that you have your fun with some of them and then move on. To me, the 914 is on my list of keepers. Most vehicles are amazingly the same to drive. The 914 creates a pure driving experience like very few others. Even in the mid engine camp, having owned a perfect Fiero GT, and a mint MR2 turbo (later model with all the options and improvements); I much prefer the 914. It may not swim like my Amphicar but it puts a huge grin on my face every time I drive it.
