Hi Guys,

A local has a spare 914 Transmission he wants to sell me with serial # 914/HA0051792. I checked the serial # & it shows to be out of a 1972, but it clearly is a side shifter?? What should I offer him to take it off his hands. He said it came out of a working 914 he was going to put in a sand buggy. I assume it should be considered a core transmission of questionable condition? I don't need one, but you never know.

What should I offer $$??? High & Low Value??

Is it really sitting flat upright on a concrete floor? If so, somethings wrong. The input shaft should protrude close to an inch beyond the end surface of the transaxle.

It's clearly a side shifter. Value? Good question. I can't wait to find out the answer. My $.02? Taking into account inflation, coupla hundred bucks?

I paid $50.00 for my last one in the same condition. I would think $50 to $150 would be reasonable depending on the exterior condition and the input shaft as mentioned above.

Thomas,
It has a negative value. The guy owes you just about what it would cost to ship it to me. Let me know the tracking numbers when you get them!

Thanks Guys,

Looks like the answer is low $50.00 to high $150.00 bucks. Shipping iron across the U.S.A. is about $150 bucks so net value -$0 for resale.

Lesson learned stay away from heavy parts & concentrate on small high buck items, like rear fog lights right Eric.

Unless of course it has a really nice 1st/reverse slider, which would ship in a flat rate box for a few dollars and sell for an easy $200. Then sell nice dogteeth for $40 each, etc.

So now I have to dis-assemble the trans check parts for condition, keep the good stuff & throw away the junk to make a few bucks. Now I am in competition with Dr. D & I don't want to go there Looked like a good idea until you find the devil in the details. This parts business is not for me, no wonder Geo. @ AA is crabby.
