I am no Porsche expert although I have owned a few over the years. Ran across a 914 in a warehouse that is supposedly a 914/6. It has a 914/6 VIN stamped into the front right apron that looks factory (914043xXXX) The engine numbers match, trans numbers match and it has all of the 914/6 details that I could find like five bolt Fuchs, correct gauges, ignition, wiring harness, engine mounts, oil cooler, rear valance, etc. But the owner says he does not think it is a real 914/6 car. It has been in the warehouse for over 30 years and needs restoration but it is a very solid and straight car.
Engine is out as is the trans. The rear fuchs are a little wider than the fronts. The owner is asking me to make him an offer. So what I need to know is a. What is this car worth if it has ALL of the 914/6 stuff and it is NOT a real car?, and b. What would it be worth in this condition if it WAS a real car? Attached image(s) |

Always try to get a price or a range out of the seller before making an offer. You can save yourself a lot of hand wringing this way for three reasons.
1. If you ask for a range and says $75,000-100,000 because he saw an auction where one went for $150,000, then you can just walk away. 2. He might say a number that is very reasonable and then you just pay it. 3. If you make an offer and it's higher than what he thought the car was worth he might start thinking he doesn't know what the car is worth so he goes and does research and then his number and your number are out the window and his new price is full boat or higher. But when you do go to start talking $$$ bring cash so if you do strike a deal, then you can quickly do the deal, then call a tow truck and pay whatever it takes to get it away from there. Or bring a trailer. |
