Back on topic.
$90,000 is strong money, though exceptional "stock and original" 914-6s have reportedly sold for $110,000-130,000 in private sales over the last 12-24 months. No idea if those cars would have gone higher or lower in the current marketplace. A 912 coupe went for six figures in Scottsdale, so there's that too. Yes, crazy. But also: reality. I like 912s and 914-6s and 914s and garden variety early 911s, though my interest (for purchasing or daydreaming) becomes heavily curtailed at six figures. Would I buy my 914 today, over other automotive choices, if I hadn't been into 914s? Probably not. But a lot of the other cars I like have become similarly dear. Alfa Guilias, E30 M3s, and the list goes on... And yes, there are a number of deviations from correct on this car, and there is nothing wrong with someone noting them in a thread like this one—discouraging that sort of intelligent and knowledgeable feedback, especially when it is shared in such an even and courteous manner—would be the opposite of what 914world is all about, wouldn't it? We are all here to learn, and to share what we know. If it's good info, there is nothing wrong with that. Congratulations to the seller—it's a beautiful car, obviously built to your satisfaction with the goal of keeping it. Sorry you had to move it on, and I suspect for a net loss. |
