FYI: Crusty LE for auction on barnfinds Options

[JmuRiz]

I saw this auction is ongoing on barnfinds, it's a VERY rough LE up, but figured someone might be interested here:

If I understand this right, the auction ended today @ $300. and a $500. buyers premium applies, so out the door at $800., and they are still accepting bids? Maybe seller should try a different sales venue without the buyers premium requirement.

There are only about 120 authentic Creamsicle LE cars remaining in existence and they are quite a bit more rare than the Bumblebee LE cars. They have sold in recent past economies north of $75K, probably somewhat less in todays market. So financially it can work for the right buyer, in the right economy.

The PPS is $150. which is all one needs to verify an LE cars authenticity, it does not require a Porsche Classic dealer inspection. The CTC price seems to now be determined by the Classic dealers individually. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yikes.gif)

Are 914/4s headed for obscurity or are they the next 356/911? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I think the latter. There are so many of us with an affinity for these cars.

Wonki...were you going to apply for the VW equivalent to the PPS?

where i left it for the moment was with @chmillman .
he lives in switzerland and was finding that he could not get a C of A or equal through porsche switzerland so i suggested he try through VW dealer there or even communicate with VW heritage directly given it was a VW-Porsche in Europe and i understand his car is a european delivery car so its never been anywhere near porsche- audi north america and won't be on any of their records i imagine. have not heard anything further yet but i believe he was going to give it a shot.
will report further if i hear anything.

if he does not i will give it a go from down here direct to VW heritage and see if i can get anywhere. my car is of course originally USA delivered. and be interesting to see if that presents any kind of hitch for VW heritage department.
