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 |

I found my 76 on this forum. It was a solid deal. I believe I will get triple what I paid for it 9 years ago.
I have looked over your pictures and there are some good points and some bad points. Your car was gold before and there are some people that just love a gold car. I think the blue color that you have is not bad at all but really cannot tell how good the body and paintwork is. Now if lots of pictures show off bad arrears with bubbling rust you will have a problem but if it is a clean car you should be good. I have sold some Porsches on Ebay but what you will need is a program that lets you list lots of pictures off site as EBay only lets you put up 12 picture or something like that. You need good pictures from every angle and point out every point that there could be rust showing. The better the shots the easer to sell it to some one with out them seeing it in person. BAT has lots of pictures on the site. People may bid it up if given a chance. You really do not know what the price may go to. $8,500 may be a low amount in the end. If you cannot take all the pictures, there are people that will charge you and clean it takes the pictures and lists it. GLWS Bob B |
