What amount shall I sell my 914 ?, I need to sell and am gathering valued opinions regarding the price Options

[porsche987]

Hello, I am selling my 1972 914 1.7 and I need an idea of where you think I should start pricing it. Maybe somebody may be interested online, as I have posted in the multiple forums, and locally. It has no issues of which I am aware. it has absolutely no dings, scratches, or dents. No hell hole issues, and no rust. It had a re-spray in its original color early this year. Seats and carpeting are excellent and original. It starts up immediately and runs great and stops great. 61,000 miles with some documentation. Pretty much all original and shows beautifully. Many pictures upon request. Here are a few pictures. What do you think?

Thanks, Steven

I did not look at the pictures but if you want to see any classic car for high dollar, you need to get all the well known rust areas out of the way.

By that I mean show each are, in detail, well lit, and with no hi fading of anything.
Remove the rockers, pics of all the metal underneath those rockers.

Pics of the hell hole which is the area the battery sits.
Remove the battery, remove the ECu if equipped, take clear quality pics of that area, it's a very common area for rust.

All the floor pans, in detail from above and below.

If you do that, along with standard pics of the car, it will sell a lot faster, and you won't be in constant conversations with tire kickers.

By showing it all up front, you eliminate all the trolls...
There is nothing to hide, no further pictures needed...it's a simple and quick discussion about price versus loads of questions.


I have sold a few old Porsches and 50 to 100 pics is not abnormal and it makes the process super easy for everyone to value the car.
