Oh man, I can't wait to see the offers come in on this forum. IPB Image I don't have anything, but I would bet a ton of people do. Just give this thread a little time.

If you were out here I could get you something in a day or less. I have a friend who finds cars of all types. The other day he pulled up in an all black on black S500 2001 and it was sweet. He said 27k and it was mine. I passed.

Or he could buy your 914 with a V8 in it. Great daily driver. Excitement everyday to and from work. What more could you ask?

I've got a buddy that is selling his Wife's BMW 750iL, I think that's the right number. It's the longer 7 Series. Early 90's I think. I think he was asking about 13K for it. Let me know if you would be interested and I can get you his number.

750 or 740? Huge difference between them. Actually about 4 cylinders difference. The 750 would be a very expensive daily driver to put gas in and repair. The BMW 12 cylinder is not a cheap fix. Besides, I think 13k for it would be a little high. More like around 9k for an early 90's car. People out here cant give them away.

But heat is an easy add on with the V8 conversion, Could be done for about $200.00.

From Rod Simpsons web site:

I've got a 92 GTI with 9k orig miles for 8500, but it would be a shame to see that driven in the salt, if you want another Benz check this out... came across it surfing ebay...
