QUOTE(Jake Raby @ Jan 1 2007, 06:52 PM)  I think its a good thing for the market... More and more cars are being dug up and restored! Yeah, it's good for the market - if you're not trying to get into it. Yep, it's also great to see chassis's brought back to life. But, a large percentage of 914'ers reallt aren't concerned about selling. I have my 100% original (OK, I DID have it painted in '79) '72 that I will die with. Good for the estate I suppose, but I want another, and preferably an original six. Prices are getting a little high these days. Won't keep me from finding the right car, but what about the incoming afficianados(sp)? So, buy now, before prices get worse. Are we certain there will be a market for these cars in 20 years? Not that I care, but what about the speculators? Remeber the mid-90's? How long will Barrett-Jackson be able to hold "idiots" prisoner to the money they have? I know the routine - "couldn't afford it when I was young......" Well, I did have a '70 Chevelle, triple-black, hypo 350! Beautiful car I paid all of $2400 for new. Handles like a pig, but all of sudden they are in demand & go for $75K? What happens when all the boomers are too old (or wiser) to spend that kind of money for an antique. Someone looses. Though 914's aren't quite in that market arena, they are becoming wanna-be's, and bringing some decent prices for decent cars. In 5 years, they'll probably be the darlings of the auction circuit. So, it has the possibility of destroying the network of 914owners who just love the car because of its nature & affordability (possibility). Is it good? Yes, for the sellers. No, for those trying to enter. Means nothing to those few of us who will die with a 914 or two in the garage. |
