Looking for advice on selling my 914 Options

[JHop]

Hey guys,

I've listed my 914 here in the classified section (blue 1972 914-4 for $8500), and am wondering what I can do to move it quickly (and not give it away). I started off too high based on some advice, and am working my way down to what I think is a reasonable price, but I'm very much a newbie with these cars. I'm not even looking to make real money here, just need to get some reasonable cash. Anyway, I am going to be moving soon and will need to sell the car beforehand...we are not going to pay to have it shipped, etc. and I won't have any place to keep it under cover.

I'm looking for any advice (don't worry I have thick skin and I know the car is far from perfect) from all of you to see what my car is really worth, or if I need certain/better/more information. I want to sell it quickly and get it to a good home. Over 1000 people have looked at it and I'm really curious as to why I have no interest.

If in the end no one here is really interested I'll keep her on Craigslist and maybe try Ebay or BaT.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

John

For the most part I have found that forums are often the worst place to sell vehicles. The people looking already have one (or more) and are generally only interested in either killer deals or the most amazing condition examples. I have never had luck selling any car on a marque specific forum.

For a reasonably quick sale, I think your best bet is a site like Bring a Trailer (hard to get listed) or EvilBay. Autotrader gets a lot of visitors as well. There is always Craigslist but you will have to deal with scammers, tire kickers, and low-ballers.

That said, I think I did find my own 914 through this or a similar forum! Still, I waited a very long time for exactly what I wanted to come along.
