With a heavy heart I've come to terms with the fact that I need to move on. The Alien will likely hit ebay in the next 30 days. I'm putting her in the garage on 9-14 and completing some badly needed paint repairs and fixing a couple things The have worn out over time before I list her.
My question is value. I don't want to list the car for fun. I want to sell the car. I want her to say in the US. I know our economy is a little soft but this is a one of a kind car that has been driven all over the US. It is a proven platform. So, I know this forum is reserved for "Cars for Sale" I intend on selling her with your help and I will list a price here before it goes on ebay. But I'm torn. Your suggestions are welcome but please no wise cracks. My feeling are at risk here and I'm having a real issue with this decision. |

Rick...in terms of reference points, it seems like the upper limit for a 914 price-wise is a clean original 6, followed closely by a well-executed 6 conversion. You can check ebay, I've seen sixes go for as little as 15k for a running 2.2 up to 30k+ for a 3.2.
Your car might be in the upper range of the well-executed six...I think that's your market anyway. I just went through a similar emotional situation selling my car. I found that despite the soft economy, there is high demand for well sorted and solid cars. I cancelled my ebay auction and shipped the car a week ago...I am still getting emails asking me if I have the car. Yours is pretty extreme so you may need to wait for the right buyer, but my advice is to wait for that buyer! That's my 2 cents and GLWS. |
