I got my first 914 in the spring of 71 for just over $3,000. The second in 72 for about $3,400, but this was without the appearance group option. After number two was totaled at the end of my fiancee's driveway,* I bought number three. That was a 73, and the price had skyrocketed way up. I decided to pay it off in one year at about $480 a month, so figure the price was over $5,000.

I went to get a fourth one about 1975, but the price was even higher. I bought a Lancia Beta.

I was told by the dealership that the price changes had to do with the changing Deutchmark/Dollar relationship.

But at the same time, BMW did marketing research and found that their cars had become trendy. They jacked up the prices between the 2002s and the next model.
The price increase made them more desireable and it was off to profit land.

I believe Porsche tried the same thing.

Today I went back to the 914s and away from sports cars I can't even relate to. Not complicated, fast, and fun.

*I was pinned in the car between a tree and a Chevy. The guys in the fire department were going to cut the roof off to get me out!! They really appreciated the removable roof. I was fine.
