914 Value Appreciation Percentage, anybody been tracking ?? Options

[rhodyguy]

i think $12-14k for a nice car is not unrealistic. niche market tho. this car will have had new suspension,tires, brakes, and near perfect on cosmetics. ready to drive, hassle free. imho, it's the stock cars that will appreciate at a greater rate. quite a few members have multiple cars. it skewes the member to car ratio also.

I have records of a few LE cars that sold in the 12K-15K window. $15K top dollar so far, for a 'nice' restored LE. Top dollar is a above that.

I wasn't pricing LE cars which are a "Special " car.

I have met a few too (in Seattle) that aren't on the 914club but most of the time their cars that I have seen fall into the lower catagories and are 1.7l's.

fine, double that number to 4000 (I doubt it) for good- excellent cars which is still small for a fun Porsche sports car.

Ten years ago there were lots more nice condition cars around to pick from, pickings these days are slim and thats why prices are going up fast! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

You are not going to have people paying more for a 76 914 than they are for a 75 914. The 76 is Porsche factory built, no VW markings on the car. I feel that the 76 is a rare car. Personally I don't think the upper price point cars are going to be that plentiful, and when one is available you had better buy it and treat as a collector car, garage it, drive it.
I said this when I first got involved with the 914 I knew this was going to go the way of the 356. All of the 914s that are cutup just help to increase the value of those still on the streets. Keep cutting, one day you will look back and say, "I remember when"
Jeff I like your valuation table. I think the point system should be more even. As said everything can be restored to perfect conditon, just not "original".
