Hi All,
I felt it was time to help all the newby's coming into the 914 market. What to buy and what to look at. Of course everything depends on how much money you can afford. Like Bruce Anderson says "buy the best quality and year you can afford". I looked at an ebay 75 yellow car in MI this week that sold for their asking price of $15K to a CA buyer. It was low milage car and someone got a car that could have brought $20K to the new astute buyer. I see market conditions of supply & demand working. Money collectors are coming into the market & looking at quality. They have the money & our 914's are bargins. I believe in the next (5) years we will see our 914's double in price. I'll mark my calander in 2013 to see if Iam right. We need to help our newby's because there are so many people selling cars with untrue facts. Buyer's beware, your need more 914 education. My opinion in preference with the exception of special models & rarity. *** All 6-cyl. cars with the vin #914.... ** All 2.0 liter cars expecially the 73-74 chrome bumper cars including 75-76 2.0 liter cars. * All the others 70-72, 75-76 with 1.7 & 1.8 liter engines. There will always be rarity & special interest cars that have premium prices, but this is my basic list. Color, wheels, etc will always be a guide to higher prices. Note: Especially rear fog lamps.

15k 2.0 are very real, Just as real as mid 30k to mid 40k real sixes. And yes, you can document the sales. I think some people's perception of "nice" is skewed...
A Delphi green 73 2.0 was sold at BJ this spring for 16k+ and it was only a #3 condition car! A concour winning 71 Six traded hands recently for 45k. A nice original signal orange six sold for 38k. A very modified (forgot the year) Fat Performance 2.5L engined car just sold on Ebay for 12k. A Yellow 75 2.0 that nice, but not drive it out and win awards nice just sold for 14,500... I could go on and on... Ferg |
