Hi all. I'm new to this forum and to 914s. I'm seriously interested in purchasing a 914 LE. I live in New Zealand and would like to get one shipped here. Due to costs and time involved in shipping to NZ the car I purchase will be a keeper for many years.
I don't have the time to recondition one so would like to purchase one that is in very good condition. Can any one please tell me how much I could expect to pay for a very good condition LE as I have no idea. I'm happy to wait for several months or more for a LE to come up for sale. Thanks in advance.

I could never part with my Creamsicle, so to me it's priceless. It was my Fathers car, only has 48k original miles on it & is the definition of a "garage queen". Been in my family since I was 11 & I'm now 52. However, if you found one in the condition mine is in & got it for less than $40k USD I'd say you got a bargain. It all depends on what you want the car for- collectability or driveability. I own 2 914s because I enjoy the car, but my LE is so pristine I barely drive it for fear of something happening to it. My other 914 is a genuine six that has had more owners than I know of, does not have it's original engine & has been highly modified. I enjoy the hell out of that car as much as I can (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

... but my LE is so pristine I barely drive it for fear of something happening to it. ... Thanks for driving her to Okteenerfest last year (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) An awesome LE with an equally awesome history. My LE (with a VIN only 15 away from Al's and a near twin with Cinnamon interior) is on the other end of the spectrum... neglected for 20 years by the previous owner. During my five years of ownership, I have restored/replaced/upgraded things as my budget can afford. Still needs a lot of rustoration and bodywork. What's it worth? No idea (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Any other '74 in similar condition might bring $5-6k As an LE... I suppose it depends how badly someone wanted it. I've seen similar go for $10k+ An LE that had been repainted silver just sold in Texas for $4k... that was a steal! At some point, I will have a full restoration done on my Creamsicle. Of course, I will then have to do like Al and get a second 914 to drive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
