You folks were right...... it took about a year...... but now I've got the jitters missing my 914.
I sold it due to financial and family reasons.... with the intention of returning to my GM muscle car roots (Trans Ams, ElCaminos, etc).
In the meantime..... I became a HUGE Subaru Junkie.... and built a 4-cyl sedan that'll outrun just about any of the 15 - 20 muscle cars I've owned in the past. That, with the impending doom of increasing gas prices...... my Muscle car fascination of the past...... is gone.
With that, I'm already prepping early. I WILL be getting another 914.... without a doubt, 100% sure. Although, I'm nearly a year out from a purchase.
What is the going rate for a Turbo Suby powered 914? Preferably something well-sorted, flared, and 5-lugged. Not looking for a project, I want something done.
I've been looking, and can't find any currently for sale. Looking to spend right at $10K on a car. I've seen some BEAUTIFUL 914-4s sell for $8500..... I've also seen an extremely well-sorted 914-8 sell on ebay for over $20K recently.
Is my $10K price estimate reasonable?
My babies:
In short... No.
10k will get you a car with poor cosmetics built with compromises.
Like the well sorted v8 car that brought over 20k, a proper car that does not need more work to set it right will be in the 15-20 area.
Not many subies on the market however, so some speculation involved.

Gotta agree with the Fergmeister
Thanks all....
Honestly, I'm a bit bummed out.... but it's good information, as I KNOW I can pick up an extremely clean, flared 914-4 for under $10K.
And then work on the conversion myself.
WRX motors are relatively easy to come by..... but I'm going to have to check out some prices on the Renegade site, for all the "extras" that will inevitably be associated.
I don't have all the specs on Keith's car, but if you search WRX914 you can find more info. I think the motor is pretty close to a stock WRX and the trans was upgraded to a 904 main shaft with application specific gearing.
