I want to get an estimate of how much everyone has invested in there cars- now be honest! Has everyone invested more than they are worth? I would estimate an investment of at least $8k - estimated value $6k (optimistically!). Pictures welcome!
I'll start - I have $5,500 invested and would be luck to get $4k. I am going to quit counting. Will have to post pics later - wrong computer |

I think that I have spent 3 or 4 times what my car is worth...but then it is not for sale and may never be.
Over the years, maybe $50K and that includes the purchase price, the rebuild, the 2nd rebuild, the third rubuild, the cost a T4 rebuild or two, several 901 rebuilds, and of the 3.2 engine, the 915 trans, the brakes, the etc etc. But I have driven it a lot...on the street and on the track, average over 32 years is only $1500 per year. Not really bad, compared to all of the other vehicles I have had, that were worth half what I paid in a year or two. Now, as I have gotten older and wiser, I only buy used cars. Still all in all for almost a lifetime of ownership, the 914 has been a bargain. Attached thumbnail(s) |
