Spare wheel

Post by cobb911 »

I have this for sale as I understand my 72T would have come with 5 Fuchs rather than having a space saver steel spare.

The question is what is it worth.

It looks like this item on ebay uk at £70 inc postage which is advertised as suitable for 911 or 944 in the range 1974 to 1988 (obviously with 911 only at the early part of that range).

Mine has the same date stamp (10/73) as this item on ebay Germany which is priced at roughly £250 plus postage.

Taking off the cost of postage to just compare the item price it seems the one in Germany is four times the price so I am not sure what level to pitch it at. Advice on price (or offers I could not refuse!) appreciated.

I'll see if that sells.

I'd do £75 to a forum member who is in need - if they want to donate anything over to DDK charity all good :-)

The wheels in your first ebay links are 2 different wheels - yours is the same as the one in Germany (commonly referred to as a 'spacesaver' wheel as fitted to IB cars).

Asking price & actual selling price are 2 different things.

The wheel in your final ebay link is an earlier wheel which will usually sell for more than the version you have.

I would say that Steve's suggestion on value (£75) is about right (although they often sell for less) in the current climate.
