fyi
a fairly comprehensive report & looks good for us (and those who restore them).

But, on the other hand if alot of non-914 owning people (hence non CASOB's) read those market balue surveys and are willing to pay that, prices will go up in general. |

The data comes from an average of vehicles that have actually sold. So a cherry low mile '73 2.0 that breaks the ceiling would throw the average off. These cars are now 30 plus years old, and very good (not hit, not rusted out and welded back together) examples are getting harder to find. Even in the PCA Panorama, you don't usually see more than five or six 914's total, when as little as five years ago there'd be a dozen minimum. Show me a cherry, perfect '73 2.0 for less than the high price in the market report! It's not unusual to see these cars bring more than the prices posted. Another factor is restoration costs, you can restore the same vintage 911 for the same money, or less (engine not withstanding). 914 parts are in many cases more expensive than 911 parts. While you can't get that money back at the time of sale, it is a consideration that effects the selling price, as well as perfect cars that don't need a restoration. Which again, are getting hard to find. Let us not forget that the average 914'er is on the "thrifty" side of the Porsche spectrum, and grumbling about high prices is standard M.O. That is until it's time to sell YOUR 914! |

That little table looks like nonsense to me. According to that, I paid almost $3000 less than I should have. I got a good deal, but not that good |

BTW All you spoiled West coast kids should come and look for pricing in Midwest. Looks close to right for Midwest through East coast. I costs a $1000 to get one of your average cars here. Shows $5500 for fair 74 1.8L about right if I wanted to sell and hold out. There is a 73 2.0L near here for $6995 (old sports car dealer) has not sold, but they have not dropped price either. You guys (and gals) have no idea how good you have it. |

Actually, I see this as free advertisement for Pete, as well as Excellence Magazine i.e. if you want the whole article go buy the magazine... better yet, subscribe as many of us here do. Don Bledsoe Boise, Idaho |

Yeah, but there are copyright laws. I do read Excellence and don't want us to piss off Pete as he does post here and contributes to the madness here. |

Agreed. But credit to the source was given. Sorry if I don't share the same concern for pissing off Pete, which he should have no reason to be pissed off about. Credit was given to the magazine source. I am a lot more concerned about crediting the poeple who REALLY contribute here. I see a lot less credit given to them than what has been wasted on this topic since it was hijacked for consideration of Pete's article . I could try to name names but it would be nearly endless. |
QUOTE (lapuwali @ Sep 26 2005, 07:15 PM) |
Right or wrong, this topic wasn't posted by someone trying to rip Pete off, or take advantage of him. It was posted as a sharing of current info (a table of prices, overall a small part of the complete article), that may very well be far off track (reference the magazine to see the whole article). |

Furthermore....I see scans of magazine articles, covers, and other people's photos all the time here. Maybe it would be good for someone with legal knowledge to post some guidelines regarding this sort of stuff. It honestly never occurred to me that I was crossing any lines. If the folks at Excellence are reading this, it would be helpful to get their take on it. |

I had my car at a local gathering and offered $25K by a person who didn't want the hassle of fixing one up. He was a person who just wanted an old Porsche in his garage to impress the neighbors. It's For Sale @ $30K if anyone is interested. |
