Interesting article.
https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/bu...be-collectible/ Never thought I'd see a 914 worth more than a 911....but that day has come. Although initially I didn't buy my teener for appreciation value. |

Jack Baruth is a pompous attention whore who'll do whatever it takes to get clicks to R&T. He loves to bash the 914, which only solidifies his pinky raising poser status. Real Porsche enthusiast see the merits as well as shortcomings of all the different models of the marque.
The premise of his article, sans insults, does bear limited merit however. He's late to the party though as far as appreciating values though, as our beloved mid-engine wonders have out paced front powered water pumpers for some time now. The only dings I ever had on the '99 and later cars is the homogenized front clip from model to model, and the IMS issues. The IMS though, as others have stated, is a small fraction unless it's your car which at that point is 100% |
