I was reading Excellence magazine the other day with the 914 value chart and they value our cars at from 12K to 18K. Why do we sale our cars so cheap and place such low value on them when Excellence themselves think our cars are worth more. The value and price of these cars would rise to the level they should be if everyone stuck to their guns and when selling a 914. When I insured mine it was for an agreed value which I put at 12K, I had to provide pictures and when I submitted evrything the insurance company had no problem with the value I put on the car. I think just as much of my Porsche 914 as a 911 owner and I believe that is how most of us feel. Apologies for the long rant but I see guys on here asking what they should ask for their cars when they sale them and all I here is 4K to 6K and ocasionally I see someone asking what the true value should be.
