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! Pat |

I sold my '65 Dodge dart GT and put my TR-3 in storage. List price on my -6 was around $5300 delivered in Brussels. ordered it in October 1969, shipped out to Germany in Jan 1970. Picked car up in April' Used a '53 small window VW for the interim. ($85 for purchase, and a couple of $10 engines ) As I recall, I financed about $3K at $98 per month. Put 20K miles on it over the various Autobahns in Germany, so it was a used car for import purposes. Don't recall exactly what it cost to ship it back to the USA when my tour was over. Picked it up in Jacksonville, FL in September '71 and drove 2000 mi to northern NM in one shot. (30 hrs) That was 66 mph avg with only I10 through the panhandle of FL as interstate.
BTW, I had to have rust spots on the rear wheelwell bead repaired by the local dealer (Islinger VW in Mannheim) before the first winter was out. repainted both rear quarters. Also had it repaired by Reinhold Joest's shop in Weinheim. (yes, that Joest). The oil pressure sensor turned out to be faulty, but I was prepared to pay for a rebuild which they had estimated at $600. Almost can't do a /6 tuneup for that now.. Those were the days... |
