What am I missing? It seems not even a year or two ago, these cars and there parts were very reasonably priced. Now, it looks as though they are going for double. Any particular reason?

They are finally bringing the money they should be... Don't be disappointed, this means the cars are an INVESTMENT, not just a money pit.

this means the cars are an INVESTMENT, not just a money pit. While I like the wishful thinking, I humbly disagree. An investment is putting money into something with the expectation of profit. Very few folks on this board/914 enthusiasts have or will ever come out ahead financially. Maybe here and there but largely these cars, like boats, are money pits. When you put a price tag on fun, friendship, etc. it is a different story but I laugh til it hurts whenever someone tries to pull the "it's an investment" card. -pt |

Whether or not something proves to be an investment depends on many things. Market conditions & timing are very important. A rust-free stock 914 is a work of art. Like most works of art, if you're in a hurry to sell it, it won't prove to be a good investment. With the right market & an enthusiastic buyer, you should be able to make some money. Keeping the car stock is very important in terms of market value. FWIW, you now have my opinion. Thank you. |
