Just saw this pop up on the San Francisco craigslist...12k original miles?!?

This belong to anyone? Anyone care to venture a guess and how much they want?

Neat, too bad it's a 75.

-Steve

Whats wrong with a 75?

a "concur" car?

May be real, or not. But the current owner knows nothing of 914's, which is why he/she posted nothing about the car.

Either go see it with a PPI person, or just forget you ever saw it. From the lack of information, other than high price, I wouldn't even bother.

And it is a 75, but is it a 1.8 or 2.0? The seller is, quite frankly, ignorant.

On the other hand, he could be rube, and just looking for a fast buck on a really nice 914.

No info, no persue on my part.

Looks like it has side "door guard" trim, wasn't that on here before?
And wasn't the side trim drilled and screwed on?

Same car?

Driven off the showroom floor to the house and only made it off jackstands a couple of times in it's life.

It would seem to be the same car. SO he must know something about 914's. He has had at least one before.

But, an exceptional condition, low miles 914 with nothing unique about its type or equipment is a 12-15k car. subtract 2-3k for the 1975 bumpers and a good ask would be 13k. Probably get 12k

Mine is similar, 1974, with 24,000 miles. All perfect and everything as delivered from dealer except the ugly Ansa exhaust, which is being replaced this week.

So, because mine is also equipped with working air, and still has chrome 1974 bumpers, I would appraise mine at 3-4k more than what his goes for.,

I will be watching it closely!! Let me know if you hear of its sale!!

Wish I still had my boxster would have made that trade

Go check it out. I most certainly would if I were in the market. It looks really excellent.

I might if I'm in the area this Friday, however I already have my very own 914 money vacuum sitting in the garage:)

So this also include the original rusty hell hole...

Already? Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez, the state of Colorado is going to make you get a dealer license!

According to that other thread a new owner reported on 9/9/10 that he just bought the car and was very happy with it. Not so happy that it doesn't get posted for sale a month and a half later

Looking to flip it for a profit

Good luck with that in todays market

I can only assume Steve refered to the #1- restrictive exhaust that the 75-76 share. HP was about 5hp less on this model; #2 - the bumpers are heavier (and more aerodynamic according to King George aka Dr914) and don't have the asthetic appeal of their chrome counterparts; or #3 - it might require emissions testing in some states. In CA the 75 is fine but the 76 must meet smog requirements.

Probably, but I would hope someone looking to flip would do a little more research first and know something about the car...I'm with Pat on this one, doesn't have a clue.

Craigslist listing is gone already.

That is even more that I would sell it for!!!! I would put 25 grand as a value.

If I meet you face to face someday do you want to call me ignorant?
Rick

Just out of curiosity, what was his asking price for the car?

I have owned 10 914's (1.7, 1.8, 2.0's, sixes, LE's, etc..), 4 Carrera's, and 1 Boxster 2.7 over the last 20 years. I have restored, raced, and shown 914s.
I have worked for Porsche and have been to the factory and museum.
I would say I know something about 914s but not everything. I do know enough not to list a 914 here because I knew I would get criticism and no qualified buyers.

To the gentleman who said I was ignorant, you are a coward to hide behind a website and say that.

My current 914 is the best car I have ever owned, but being just a car I would part with it to the right qualified buyer.

I pulled it off of CL due to the overwelming response of email. If I find the right buyer I'll sell, if not I will enjoy this superb 914.

Right on. How much do you want for it?

If you know enough about 914s to not list your car here, than why are you spending your time defending your position to no potential buyers?

Also why do you care about something said on another website non-related to you ad?

So you got called ignorant, personally I don't find it that nasty, he was saying that based on your ad you seemed to be ignorant. He's not hiding behind the website, by the username and location you can clearly see who he is and whereabouts he is.

Do you seriously want him to buy a plane ticket to go and tell you that you seem ignorant to him?

Good luck with the sale, I hope you find the right and qualified buyer to meet your standards for the car, every good car salesman is so emotionally attached to the incredible car he has that only the right buyer will have it and it's not only about the money!

If I were you, which I'm not, I would concentrate my efforts in getting back to those buyers instead of loosing my time here...

Rick,
Sometimes, people are too quick to judge. When I read your ad, I too assumed it was someone who really doesn't know the 914. I stand corrected. However, I think you are wrong about not finding qualified buyers here. There are a few who check here frequently for just the right car.

You have an interesting car and with your experience, you know that values will vary widely. I placed it at $13k, George H says $25k. I tend to value cars a little low, because I try to sell them within 30 days max. Only you know what you need to sell the car for to make it worth it for you. But, it helps us all if we know how much you eventually sell it for if you do indeed sell it. All boats rise with the tide.

When I want a Canuck's opinion I'll let you know.

And why dont YOU call him that to his face instead of behind your computer. You are quick to judge and point fingers. Not once did you answer a question.

Whoa! You'll never make it into the AssHat meetings with that attitude.

So far, all i see is a little kid that is butthurt because somebody called him out on his less than mediocre craigslist ad.

Which Army were you in?

You are well on your way to make a lot of friends here ...

Pretty sure my Avatar says that

Guys, I meant everything in fun, not really serious about my comments.
I was just surprized at how rialed-up everyone got.
I was just kidding, I hope you didn't take it wrong.
Have a nice day.

Around here we use these funny little things here: other wise they are words and thats how it is

I wonder what she wants for her car?



Who wants to ask?

I will pay

Wow, why would you NOT list your car here? I only listed my 914 here as I wanted it to go to someone who would really enjoy it. It sold in a decent amount of time for what I was okay with getting.

If you've owned that may P cars you should know that you are more likely to sell in a circle that out of the circle. Most of us love 914s and have friends that have a desire to join us.

IB4L!!!

i think it's worth $1,000,000!!!!

it's one of one..... that was owned by porboy!

now that ups the value by $995,000!

this kinda reminds me of the yellow 74-3 that was for sale up here and the guy wanted 15k for it....... marky and i wondered why it had tits on it for a '73?... and started loking into it more and found that it had been hit in the front and not repaired much because we could see oil can dents and deformation in the front wheel wells and front structure. we pointed this out to the guy and he just shugged his shoulders and said he still felt is was worth what he was asking...... good luck!

My "73 1.7 has tits in the front. Not stock?

maybe it was tits in the back and none up front i don't remember that far back!

It's a late "73. No tits in back. Thanks.

It was most likely tits in the front.

'73 had tits only in the front, '74 had them front and rear.

I just contacted AIG... guess what fellers.. they said I'm qualified! I can also use Freddie and Fanny Mae as references if needed. So, back to my original question. How much?

Before all the hoopla, the owner sent me a short and to the point, but quite polite message. Out of respect for him I won't quote the asking price, but recall in the original Craigslist ad he said he would consider a trade for a late model Boxster (say somewhere around the 2007 MY). Look up those ads in Craigslist and you'll be in the ballpark.
