Well, it looks like I cannot bring my car to Spain due to laws and regulations and such. Very expensive. So, I may need to sell it to pay the bills for right now. As most of you know I bought this recently on Ebay. It has a salvaged title due to parts stolen on it from the prior owner years ago. Everything was replaced. The car is in perfect shape. Small rust, no body damage whatsoever. Interior needs a little work. A few cracks in the dash, new door panels and new seats. Although they look fine.
After purchasing the car, I sent it to HPH and had $1,800.00 worth of work done. Basic things, new brakes, clutch, cables and so on. Runs like a champ! I originally spent $4,600.00 on it plus the $1,800.00. I would at least like to get a majority of that back if possible. Can anyone suggest a reasonable price I should start at? I have all the receipts and papers for the history of the car. It's a 76 / 914 / 2.0 (Black) Here's a couple of pics: (IMG:http://www.bimmerbrothers.net/pic/car4listings/76BlackPorsche914-0321/76BlackPorsche914-0321Rear.jpg) (IMG:http://www.bimmerbrothers.net/pic/car4listings/76BlackPorsche914-0321/76BlackPorsche914-0321Inter.jpg) (IMG:http://www.bimmerbrothers.net/pic/car4listings/76BlackPorsche914-0321/76BlackPorsche914-0321TrunkRear.jpg) |

Were you planning to put it up on ebay? I've been trying to sell my salvage titled 914 for a while, and eventually gave up and put it on ebay. I only got $510, and then the seller backed out because apparently it's difficult to register a salvage titled car in Colorado. Of course your car looks 1000 times better than mine, and probably runs 1000 times better too. The salvage title seemed to lower the value (on ebay anyways) of mine by abut 50% of what I thought it was worth (you don't often see running and driving 914s for sale under $1000 unless they're total rustbuckets) Hopefully you wont lose too much money on this. You might consider advertizing it out of state since Californians are wary of 76es. Good luck.
