Didn't want to Hijack bbrocks thread on how certain mods may affect resale value, but it really got me thinking about future values on these cars and where the market may be heading.
http://914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=314860 I love that everyone has a different vision for their car and can go their own way. Some members such as Arne & myself are currently working on driver restos and others such as Larmo among others are deep into some serious 6 builds. After having been to about a 1/2 dozen events, there is definitely serious interest in the 914 and this will bring prices up for good clean original cars. Not sure when or to what degree, but I have spoken with several PCar Collectors, expressing interest in "seriously getting one, but they're hard to find" Good clean cars and NOS parts will become scarce and drive prices up. What are your thoughts on values possibly starting to trend similar to the beginning of the run up on 356s and 911s? I would also like to hear about how many of you have Concours quality 914s as I have not heard much about those cars in the forums. |

I see you're off your meds again Tom (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) No, just fed up with you Mark! Go pound sand! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) What is pounding sand Tom ..honest don't know? just asking true,besides what is original? IMO these appear to be the most modified cars of any Porsche,FI delete is the main one and then most complain they can't get them running right and spent more money sorting that the original FI if they send it to a shop. We have different steering wheels,oddball wheels ,non matching exterior paintwork ,the infamous centre mount Weber,fully flared cars with a stock 1.7 to name a few...I could go on. I haven't been on here long but have seen prices creep over that time,even when a so called original cars come up there's always something that's been altered,don't think the market responses much to that they buy them because they think a low mileage car is better,that infact isn't the real story,low mileage to me = high maintenance been there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . In my country the offbeat cars that Porsche built have risen in price rather quickly ,944's and 928's have risen sharply ,as for anything 911 based they have gone mental world trends and the demise of the aircooled cars has dealt to that,fact I believe. |
