This 75 popped up on our countries largest auction site recently,start price is 30k with a buy now of 35k,seems an honest car if not that original,listing details are a little inaccurate saying its a 1.8 with 85hp,as a USA import I thought they are 76hp confused24.gif .
Hope it sells as this will set a benchmark for values here,this auction site is a good indicator of what people will pay.

Not many of these cars here,prices for aircooled Porsches have steadily climbed in the last wee while and the prices on 944/928 and 968 have followed to a lesser extent.
The 964 and 993's have gone a bit crazy price wise so I think this is following trends in the USA.
The late mass produced watercooled 911 and 986's are relative bargains considering our weak NZ dollar but many are import models so it is worth being selective,certainly good valve however.
The auction site is called TradeMe if anyone wants to browse,IMO many will find this interesting viewing beerchug.gif .

Looks like a nice honest 914. beerchug.gif

Supply and demand.
Your local supply is short. A good indicator a demand is being pent up I suspect by year end we may see a 20% (possibly more) increase in the US market.

It's here dated lets see how my prediction goes. shades.gif

Is that car Malaga red? Hard to tell.

Think how much it would be worth if it had Fuchs instead of Riveras!
porschetub
Yes there is a supply/demand thing going on however most folks in my country don't even know what these cars are dry.gif .
Colour ..I have no idea,seller lists it as being red only ,appears he isn't a details guy,one question was pic's of the underside which he didn't supply other than saying the car was totally rust free...alarm bells ? I don't know.
Wheels...certainly not my favourite or is the modern style red leather steering wheel barf.gif .

Car listing has expired with no bids...maybe to expensive ??,we be interesting to see if the guy relists .

A 914 must be a pretty rare bird in NZ. Lack of familiarity could be the reason along with shipping/transport $ for just about anybody out of country.

agree.gif there is not many of these cars on the road in my country,believe there is one real six,few non road worthy ones that folks imported without knowing how much these cars rust sad.gif .
Perhaps other NZ members could chime in on numbers of cars here...I don't really know.

sad.gif certainly seems like it when I get 95% of my parts from the USA.
Currently a miserable 66cents to the USD that's about as low as it can go,add shipping and its worse.

Do you have VAT as well? I tried to find the import fees regarding a FI management system mentioned in another thread. Shipment point was Estonia. No luck.

I have been thinking for some time about getting a 914 registry going in New Zealand. I know of 4 in NZ but there will be more.
A lot of people bring cars in from around the world with a large number of those coming in from USA i.e. new or modern Mustang, Dodge, Camaro and early classics. Due to the costs of importing (exchange rate, shipping, insurance and our local tax GST at 15% which goes on top of every thing including initial purchase price) care and diligence is required.
In my situation the reality is that my LE would probably sell in USA if I ever sold it purely because that is were the biggest market is.
Stay tuned fellow Kiwis I may put up a request for 914 owners to contact me (once I get my busy life sorted smile.gif ) this being the 50th year would be a good time to do it.
Cheers Steve beer3.gif
