An overseas member asked me about 914 pricies in the US; what would be a reliable sources to do this ?
My first thoughts were eBay because it’s an auction venue and my second thought is the Hagerty Guide. If you have a link to share, i’ll Forward it and he will be gratefull |

Switch those around Jim, since Hagerty bases their values on the broad market, whereas evil-bay is a smaller slice & you all too often don't have access to the actual sales price after a little while.
Cars.com, CarGurus & AutoTrader are not values, but asking prices in their "valuations" - as are evil-bay listings until a sale price is posted (the others never post a "sold for" price), & both NADA & KBB don't do a good job on any classic or collectable cars' values at all. PS - Excellence has been lazy & out of date on values for 5+ years now, & worse after Pete Stout left. They don't even correct errors in the Buying Guides from year to year, even with members here, & those for other models' sites sending them the corrections. So Excellence has tarnished in recent years IMHO! Happy Holidays! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif) Tom /////// |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif) Tom /////// Taking nothing away from Pete Stout, I’d say the decline in the valuation issue came about with Bruce Anderson’s sickness and ultimate death... No problem and no ego here. Looking back years later, the Market Reports were a tough one throughout my time at Excellence. "Good idea," but difficult to execute well. Bruce and I tried a lot of things to get them right, or righter, but the reality is that assigning "values" on a national (international?) basis on a too-small sample size with hazy "condition buckets" is fraught. I can't remember if I nixed the Market Values before or after Bruce passed away, but they eventually came back as separate-issue buyers's guides (I had nothing to do with these). Haven't read one in years...the values of the cars have never been interesting to me other than when I go to buy a car, and I find it's far easier to determine one car's value within a ballpark than it is to determine the value of all or even most example of a given model...especially as the years go by. |
