He's only trying to get his money back out of it...
1976 914 2.0 = $9,000.00 Getting it running = $20,000.00 The look on the sellers face when he reads this thread = Priceless (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Phew, I love seeing dealers sell 914's. Though as Dr. Evil will attest, it's hard finding a rust-free 914 around here, and this had better be rust free for ~$30k! Plus '76s are practically new ;-)
Now to call Safeco and adjust my agreed value policy... |

In this crazy market, in 10 years that may look like a good price in retrospect. Personally, I hope he gets every penny, makes all of the good ones jump up another notch in the minds of those who have too much money.

Been up for sale before. Nice car, maybe not quite $29k, but still looks nice.

here's another shot of red plaid seats
 nice looking, but not original btw - plaid seats didn't ever combine with the early style center console (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Gustl |
