My wife and I have decided that living in Northern VA with 5 cars and 1 cycle is costing us too damn much. Those of you fellow NoVAns can appreciate personal property tax and insurance and such. Anyway I have to lose 3 cars soon and the 914 is one of the three. I'm wondering if anyone has tried donating a 914 to Purple Heart or one of the other charitable organizations. If so, how do you value the car? NADA lists 3 prices for a 1973 2.0 914: $2,925 (low retail), $4,150 (average retail), and $5,400 (high retail). I know that after 2004 the IRS is reworking the auto deduction laws so this is the last year to get a favorable deduction. I'm looking at deducting it vs. selling it just for expediancy. However if someone wants to buy it here's the specs; 1973 2.0L w/~78K miles fiberglass flares new Kumho tires new brakes (19mm MC, front calipers, all hoses, all pads, rebuilt rears, new parking brake cables) rebuilt Dellorto 45s recent tuneup (runs good but needs something other than the 009 distributor that's on it) new CB performance fuel pump and pressure regulator SS heat exchangers center console POR15'd floor panels bad white paint job brown interior currently stacked on car except for door panels which are installed! rust around windshield other stuff as I remember I need to get $3K for it which means I eat about $3K in parts/repair costs but I get rid of it. You other 914 owners know the drill on that one... I found a picture from 2001 but I'll post something newer after I get home if anyone is interested. |

I used to live in Springfield but moved to Manassas a few years ago.
Keep the 914 and do this . . .. Register as an Antique Vehicle. No more emissions/safety inspections. No personal property tax as Antique and the County sticker is free too. It's basically a free permanent registration. You do not have to reregister every year, just once. Get Antique insurance (I pay about $75 a year for $6500 agreed value). You'll be limited to the mileage you can drive each year (my insurance covers up to 2500 miles/year) but I've never gotten near my limit (warm/sunny weather car only). |
