How done would you like it..., If you were buying a 914. Options

[Mueller]

I would like option 2 or 3, my wife would like me to have option 1 as would many other S/O's I would think (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Reasonable rate fin. might be difficult for many people. Anyone have ideas what Nissan charged for cars and fin. when the offered the 240Z rebuilt/refurbed about 10 years ago.

Did they take a bath with that venture?

There must be a market for something like this, otherwise, AA wouldn't be charging what they do for some of thier cars.

I think for simplicity you should run two options.

First, I'd have a "spec" set for the cars. You could get

1) Tub, Acid dipped, Rust repaired, Body worked, Primered, and you order the color, and its $5000, If the person wants a expensive paint, they pay more.

2) Complete car. A stock car, painted 1 of 5 colours (Red, Black, White, Blue, Green, Silver) With a set engine. I'd leave it at a basic group option., No console, No radio, No sail Vynal, No Spare, Basic 3 color interior, Black, Charcoal, or Tan.

The completed car should leave open to the purschaser options to complete the car. And where is the best place to get those options? The place that sold him/her the car.

Ideally for the completed car, if you could get it so it cost ~10,000, and had a warrenty of some kind, I think you could sell them. For the engine, I'd look for getting a 100 HP plant, that is reliable as the day is long, and is cheap. I don't know where you would find these.

Your business plan could be just that, Buy a completed 914 to drive while you work on the project teener. Buy one for your GF thats bugging you, or your kids, or wife. If your not a huge DIY, well the hard parts all done. You just have to the minor things, and you have a complete resource here to help with it.

And cause you will have a Teener come race it with us, and get involved in events, and such.

10K. Your not just buying a car, your buying a lifestyle.


Just my thoughts.

I think the upper range of the prices is more realistic than the lower range. If you could provide me with a "perfectly restored chassis" for $4K I'd put my order in tomorrow. For $6K I might have to think about it for a while before I said yes.

For a perfectly restored chassis I'd expect paint as good or better than a new factory paint job was.
