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.

What size wheels can I fit? Group: Members Posts: 4,645 Joined: 5-April 05 From: Scottsdale, AZ Member No.: 3,881 Region Association: Southwest Region |
Rare, rare rare....if rarity is the only factor in determining value, then my '75 1.8 should be WAY up there on the value scale. Smaller production numbers than any other 4cyl(except that damned LE). Less than 2500 ever made. Crap....why the hell did I butcher my classic and make it a six???? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) The 73 2 liter is the 2nd highest production 914 ever made and it is considered the one to buy(sans the six). So there is more to it than rarity.
Even if Johnny's car wasn't an LE, it is a top tier car that should(and would) command big $$. Not because of the rarity of the LE but because of the condition, documentation, numbers matching, clean title and so on, IMHO. While I would certainly never suggest that being an LE does not add value, I think that value can(and has been) be easily exaggerated. Saying it is worth three 73 2.0's?? C'mon....

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I agree. I have two Ferrari Mondial coupes...an '86 3.2 and an '88 3.2 I don't have the exact numbers in front of me right now; however, there were less than 30 coupes imported to the US in 1986 and maybe a few more in 1988. They are very rare. Rarity does not, unfortunately, equate to value. |
