This 914 was for sale a few years ago and the post got over 16,000 views and went to 4 pages. It's a bit overwhelming so I thought I'd start over. I'm having a weak moment and want to "test the waters" for a potential buyer. Looking at $15K.

I had some nice conversations about my car with potential buyers. She's not sold yet though.

I realize this is a specialized 914 and the "target buyers group" is narrow. That being said, it's a smokin deal at $15K. Any thoughts from this 914 group on a price point? I may regret asking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)
Just curious what the masses think. I spend a lot of time on the Early S Registry and Pelican and have come to know that many folks here are on the....lets say thrifty side. Cheers. |

I think the price is right.
unfortunately a majority of drivers want to race and drive their car on the street in between. I think this is your main issue. |

Yes, I get it but this is a dedicated FTD machine. NO street driven car could ever beat this 914. I guess it depends on what you want to accomplish. Thanks for your comment. |
