Go to - Ebay Motors Look to the right of the search button for Advanced Search, click that. On the advanced search page, type Porsche 914 and scroll down slightly to Sold Listings. Click that and hit search. It will bring up a 6 month history. Did that. Great tip. Not sure if this link will work but these are the results for all 914's sold between 10k and 35k. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&a...p;LH_Complete=1 |

I didn't include every 914, but most of the ones that had an actual sales price. Condition was my call and I could only tell so much from the pictures and descriptions. I'm probably generous with the conditions. |

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. |

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? Not for the speculators. Good point. |

Not necessarily, there are al lot of folks who enjoy both, as well as other marques …
I'm sure by the time we finish up the restoration on Dianne's '71, the increase in sales prices will have covered the cost of the resto … maybe even turn a decent profit? Of course, doing a lot of the work 'in house' helps. |

That's one reason I'm not selling my 911, I wouldn't be able to afford to buy another one.
Although with the right advertising I could probably make it sound like it's worth quite a bit to the uninitiated. There were only 751 built... I am starting to look at houses in my area. I haven't seen the value of my 914 going up nearly as fast as the 911 over the past few years. |

914 prices will trail behind for a while but it's reasonable to expect them to continue to rise, one because they are Porsches and two because they are sports cars.

I have had quite a few 911 and 356 guys tell me how much they always liked 914's. I've got one right now looking for a good 914 t restore once his 911 is done. Most have told me they either always liked them, or they had owned one as a first car and want another now that hey have the means to have multiple cars. |

If you compare the prices on our cars to the old VWs we're lagging. Try to buy a dicent Ghia or early Bus. Even the beetles are pricey. People are figuring out that these are fun cars.....

Yes, but the older Bugs, Ghias and Buses are older than the 914. The older a vehicle is typically fewer survive. |
