914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Value of a Canadian/California Teener

Posted by: tracks914 Apr 16 2008, 09:36 PM

I'm thinking of selling my P1. Really nice Daily Driver. Wife says I have too many cars.

'72 California car until 90's - completely rebuilt 1.7 engine and tranny ~ 2500km
fully restored - completed in 2005
upgrades - center console, SS HE, Malhes, SS exhaust along with OEM, optional Neoprene higher side bolster driver seat
Car was appraised @ $17,000 for insurance but I know that selling for 2/3 appraised value might be more realistic.

Just wondering what the club members in Canada or Northern US think the resale possibilities would be for such a car?

Hard to say, what you want and what you get is 2 different things.

That said... if you're after 2/3 of appraised (about $11500 asking) I think it should move. Your big issue is your GWN location.

You should drive it down to the Niagra Falls, June Jitterbug VW show, enter it (good chance of winning 914 class) with a for sale sign in the window.

Hey Doug I just had a great idea!
You could bring it down to my place and let me drive it around while it's for sale. I'm only an hour from TO.

Dave, here's a list of all of the near Ontario shows.

If you do get to the jitterbug I might be there...I don't know if I'll be vending or showing, but most likely I'll have my green and white '67 split bus...Look me up!

I'd travel that far to deliver a car for a sale but just to see if it would sell would be a long haul.
