I know that in the 911 community, grey market cars generally have less value than US spec autos. I don't see them too often in the 914 community, but i was looking over a nice black 914 from socal on OC craigslist, but it appears to be a grey market car. Does that make it less valuable?
sorry if posting in the wrong spot, but i thought those who are looking to buy/sell would have the best insights... |

914s are so old now, the only thing that really matters is the current condition of the car.
In fact, for a 914, being a Euro car would make it kinda cool. (Assuming you don't need to get it smogged where you live, e.g., a grey market '76 in California could be a major problem). |
