Don't forget to factor in the dealing with buyer's problems....packing, shipping, bitching....and that's just from your family....

Well, I'm the first one to over pay for anything 914 related, just so I can say I have it. If you have a need/use for the parts, then it's worth while, otherwise it's a tough call. Storing a parts car is a pain in the a$$. If you plan to just part it out, be sure you can do it immediately, not some time down the road. That said, if all five wheels were in good shape, I'd say $600 if you plan to keep the wheels and most of the good parts. If you are just planning on parting it to make a few bucks, then no more than $350-400. I just paid $1200 for a parts car, and most would agree I over paid, but the value is more than made up in parts that I need. There is no way it would be worth the trouble to part it for profit at that level. Good Luck.

how much is it worth to YOU!? many folks post that question ( the worth) without providing the asking price. boxing, shipping, replying to numerous emails, sending pictures, and having people trying to haggle with you over including the shipping costs in the price, is time consuming at best.
