The price is right?, 914-6 for sale Options

[cali914]

Hey guys I saw this about a month ago at a local cars and coffee. The kid was a nice young man selling his 914-6 so that he could put his energies into his early 911. Does this price seem reasonable?

Those Corvettes will come with a large dose of depreciation. Plus it seems like the first year Corvettes always have problems.

First year? Try every year (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I'll never forget the first time I heard a guy say his FRC roof flew off at a vett meet and someone replied "yeah, that happens" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

You are correct on the depreciation, they drop fast

our local German collector-broker-exporter-expert says the current $$$ market is strictly interested in "original & numbers matching"

- all else is just a used car -

-4 conversions simply can't compete in that collector (non-depreciation?) atmosphere

- one might buy a $100K museum resto quality 914-6 and almost never drive it & maybe 10 yrs hence it will be worth original cost (or hopefully more) - so long as there is no economic recession and we aging -6 cult cognoscenti do not check out of the hobby - if we regularly drive it, the elements will take a toll

but let's not forget the investment maintenance costs: $$ spent on pristine storage, trailer to transport, & collector-valu insurance etc

imho any aircooled 911 is a 'way safer non-depreciation bet
