914 Price Trends, Going Up? Options

[swooshdave]

I"m just looking at the Hagarty estimates to start. I've heard many people say that the prices of 914s are going up. The Hagarty charts seem to disagree and say that the prices are flat for the last 8 years except for a bump around 2010.

I don't think they have enough comparables to track the 914s accurately enough.

Is there a better source for pricing trends aside from antidotal evidence?

I used the 1973 2.0 as sample as that seems to be held as one of the more desirable of the fours.

There is a great article in PCA Central Pa August Newsletter about the 911 bubble by Don Hollway that talks about the 911 prices sky rocking . The Air Cooled models' prices "going through the roof".

I think the 914's are seeing a similar thing happening. One major point Don mentioned is the devaluation of the American Dollar on a global level driving the prices up for American owned Porsches, exported back the Europe. So, if you look at 914's sold in the US Market maybe we aren't seeing what the European buyers are seeing as far as how much more they are able to pay to buy American sold 914? There is a supply and demand factor too which enters into it. As the 911's become less affordable the 914's become an alternative.

Wouldn't they be two totally different customers? Both in taste and budget?
