Jesus! It was at $14k a few hours ago. I go mow the lawn and now it's more than doubled.
I think it was the color that did it. Engine bay wasn't nearly clean enough for me to think it would hit 30k.

I had a feeling it would get that high. I agree it was the color that did it. I thought the bumpers would hold it back...

Very surprising considering it had rust in the jack point, previous hell hole work, and no clear pictures of the passenger rear floor pan.


Love the color though and still a good looking car.

Great looking car. I did not think it would reach those numbers either.

Man, we all need to revisit our insurance valuation to make sure we are appropriately insured.

It seems like they manage to sell cars at a very high $$ amount. Look at the 928 GTS 5 days left now at $31,000. That is the desirable (GTS) one but seemes high to me though I'm not really up on 928's.

I see rust, hate the undercoating, and a 1.8!

Battery tray has been replaced.

Engine was not detailed as the outside.

Somebody paid too too much for this 914! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

WTF looks like the plumbing under my basement sink. And the "corrosion limited to the passenger-side jacking point" is probably the surface of another half foot of rust unseen inside. It must be the documentation and low mileage that did it?

Wow......nice car and great color! $30K is a lot of money for a low optioned non-appearance group 1.8L in #2 condition. Hagerty values a #1 - $26K & #2 - $16.5K.

Looks like I'll need to up my insurance.....

Low original miles and the color brought that to $30K. I agree with earlier post about the body being in about #2 shape.

I was talking to a guy that was bidding. We agreed the info was sketchy. Hood mis-match supposed to be done at the dealer when new as dealer prep turned out to be damage caused by the PO dropping an oil can on it, dirty oily engine does not clearly represent 40k miles. Rust repairs required. Brush painted battery tray and hell hole. Strange COA listing tartan but the car has vinyl. Car is sold but not delivered. Great price for the seller.

I tried a bid at $14,500 hoping it would stay low.

I actually don't think $30k is that high for this car. I think with lots of hours and $5k of parts/paint/etc, you could have a VERY nice 914. And then probably worth $30k or maybe $35k. At least that was my plan. But for now I'll stick with getting my orange car back together again.

BAT gets a lot of viewers and the cars sell high usually.
