So I'm on the fence about selling my 914. I discovered that the rust on my car was worse than expected. At this point I'm not sure if I can afford to fix the car properly but at the same time the car does bring me a good amount of joy. I posted these pictures on a 914 page and was told it was bad. Here's what I would like to know. Roughly how bad is this rust? Could I just por15 it and just enjoy the car as is for now? Finally how much do you think it's worth in the current state? Any advice is appreciated

Rear trunk is good actually been under it, and above looks solid. Battery tray yeah. What I really want to know is what this car would go for in it's current state as I'm pretty set on selling it.

Hard to make a call given the small # of pictures, but unless it's structurally sound, you need to price it like a parts car because that's what it is. If the engine and tranny are good, I'd say it's worth ~$3k, depending on the condition of the other parts and the full extent of the rust. |
