Hi everyone,

I'm interest in opinions on this 914-6 I'm helping a friend sell.

Please take a look at the following page and offer any comments here.

Welcome to the board.

I haven't looked at 914/6 values in over a year, but my feeling is that the $20K asking price is too high. If he can get it, more power to him. It does look and sound like a nice, straight and probably nearly rust free car. Off the top of my head without any current research, I know I wouldn't pay more than $15K (and I would *like* to be closer to $13K). But that's just me.


Edit:
Maybe more than $15K. Depends. I'm curious to see what others think.

'Nother edit:
If the car is not rusty, remove the rocker panels and take pictures of the longs. Also the cowl around the bottom of the windshield, engine compartment, the door jams and thresholds, the front right side of the engine shelf, battery tray, the four lower corners of the front trunk, the rear traunk facing rearward toward the back (bottom of the trunk floor in front of the tail lights). If the car isn't rusty, show it in pictures. For long distance buyers, this is a huge seller. In fact, pictures sell!

Hey, that's pretty nice. Need more pics though. Need to show the areas that count, paint isn't the biggest deal.

No photo of the battery tray. The car looks repainted.

This is not a "suprise car". No stories. Actual milage, ONE owner. Original bill of sale from teh original dealer sold as new.

I would love to see a good pic of another example of this color on a 914. I know it is the original color, but I did not see the color code on the door.

Sports Car Market gives the 914/6 a price range of $11,000 low and $15,000 high.
Gint is right on the money. And like he eluded to you need to see the crucial areas that are prone to rust.

Thanks, I'll talk to him tomorrow and let him know what I've been reading.

Seems like $15K is the general concensus on Pelican as well.

Just trying to find out the fair value of the car.

Thanks!

So vortex, that's Palma green. Looks exactly like the color of the car!.

Thanks!

Also, I'll get a few pic's of the rockers, engine, and battery box. Thanks for the heads up on that as well.

it's definitely not irish green.

palma green metallic seemed to be a 914-4 color, maybe for the 914-6 it was simply called metallic green?

check for paint codes on the metal badge of the drivers side doorjamb. I bet you will find it says 221 somewhere.

HUm.. it shouldnt have that bumper on the rear. It should have the squared off one....and the rear valance is missing (which he says).. make me wonder if it was lightly tapped in the rear and they removed the valance and replaced the bumper.

like removing a Speedster windscreen at the track, or 356 bumpers, removing the 914/6 rear valance was The Thing To Do when the cars were new. ran about 10F cooler that way, in my experience. (cooler may not be the factor it was in SoCal, in Vermont ...)
