As the title says, what did you trade, if anything, when you bought your 914?

Most interested in buyers of brand new 914's, but let's hear from all.

And, do you remember (assuming you didn't pay cash) what your payments were?

I traded a very rusty 65 Beetle, with 180k miles on it (got 300 for it!), and put another $1200 down. My payments for 36 months were just under $100/month. Paid it off in 18 months.

Times and money DO chaange!

A Gibson Les Paul Jr. -- Mint with a mint alligator case.

Probably worth more than any 914-4 right now. Definately worth more than "that" 914 (poor thing didn't have a rear fog light). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

In '76 my Dad bought my '74 and retired his '69 Ford Country Squire Wagon with a 429.

In '08, I swapped a Boxster for the racer.

What year and color? I love guitar stories! I would be a slightly richer man today had I followed my heart rather than my head on guitar purchases. That is not often the case with investments of any sort.

Mahogany with the absolute whitest plastic tuners I've ever seen. And... the best sounding P90 on the planet. It was truly an under-bed find.

Then there was the 68 Tele-Custom seafoam green with the tortoise shell pickguard that I sold to the guy in "America" and the Broadcaster and the... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

Shame on you Eric. I would not trade one of my guitars for anything (they are not as expensive as the ones you mentioned, though).

I sold my 82 Ford Escort for $400 and added $1000 cash. This was in 96-97.

I paid cash for... Of course it was 2002 not 1975... If it had a rear fog light I would have needed a loan of course. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

In 1972 I traded a 1970 Toyota Hylux Pickup and some cash, as a down payment, for a 72' blood orange 'Dealer Demo' from Pomona Porsche. The car was lowered to the ground with a bumble bee stripe across the rear quarter panels and trunk lid behind the rear tires. It was used to shoot a commercial at the old Ontario Speedway. Never saw the commercial so who knows. I think my payments for the balance were $112 a month for three years. Price of the car.....$5200 off the showroom floor.

I Traded a Rover 3.5 all aluminum v8 and the 5 speed trans out of a Rover SD-1(was going to do a mgb V8 conversion) and $1200 cash. That was way back in March of 2009. Now I have around $6500 invested (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (engine rebuild, and hellhole refurb) and will be driving it hopefully shortly after The new year!

As most of you know by now, I bought my first 914 new in early 1973. It cost in the neighborhood of $6,000. If I recall correctly, I put about $2,000 down and borrowed the rest. My payments were $137.50 a month for 3 years. It was probably one of the smartest things I ever did in my life. Not only was it a good investment but by joining PCA I began hanging out with established well to do people instead of the stoners I was partying with prior.

I traded my alcohol addiction in October of '04 and purchased the 914 in December of '04. But also to fill a void for letting an old friend go (that was killing me). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

It was a complete stock rolling shell purchased from a stoner (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) (found evidence) for $700 cash.


Win/win. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
