Hey everybody
Just thought i'd rant for a while. What is the market value of a 914, personal value is already set at priceless. I found this site when playing with the idea of selling my 914, and needed a guage other then EBay. I snooped and looked at just about any car that came into view on the net. I have tracked the price to be found around the 3000$ to 4000$ dollar range, this seems to be a popular price. High priced beasts just seem to expire, hopefully sold. I have seen guys on this site buy a car in this price range, and within a few month are changing rockers, floors, suspension body parts, etc... thumbs up, more on the road the better !. Just doesn't seem like a 4000$ car anymore. The 914s are easy to work on compared to most of the excotics, so a homemade resto is a possibility.
Now you complicate this with a "mod" factor, either it gives value or takes it away. I have never seen a model of car vary in prices like the 914s. Boils down to - how much work you want to do ? I have the most perfect 914 I have ever seen and still doubled the purchase price with the restor . This car was born with good or bad taste, depends how you look at it, and buyer will decide each cars price. This is whats good about this board, if you have a good one, you have the 914 fans all here. Most serious offers I got on my car came from 914 owners.
I think a 914 is like wine, 10$ bottles to 2000$ bottles
Great thred
