Are used parts prices really going to go out of control now?

Maybe that guy down in SoCal with the $1.5 million asking price for his inventory of used parts will finally find a buyer.

I would have guessed $50-60K, but the buyer wanted the car I guess. I wonder if he (or she) will reinstall the A/C? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Sometimes auctions will bring bargains for buyers and sometimes, as I think happened in this case, prices are driven up if someone with the money decides they really want the car.

Auction prices are driven by at least two people who want the car, in this case, two crazy people. Wow.

Rediculus. That's without buyer's premium, yes?

Porboy was the owner that removed the A/C. Here is another thread with more pictures of the car:

$85,000 is amazing ... double what I thought it could fetch.

Is that the highest price paid for a 4 cylinder 914?

So this car sold in 2013 for $42K. I found another auction result for it in Nov 2016 for $40,700. And now for $85K.

Amazing.

I could see this price if it was a more desirable year and didn't have the air conditioning issues. There must have been two swinging di*ks fighting it out trying to get it.

It's a neat car, just not my cup of tea.

I did. Air conditioning installed, and then removed. That means body panels cut and then repaired with new REPLACEMENT metal.

An overpriced car with replacement panels. Absurd.

Crazy things happen when people make decisions with their ego as opposed to their brain.
