Hi Scott,

I thought everyone here at 914world.com would have a 914 project already. Looking outside; but it is a good suggestion.

You will get real money for a real car here, we all know your car inside and out .

Here and at Pelican, but if your in CA, just scream out the window "914 for sale" and I bet you someone will buy it.
You don't want to hang on to it now that you found us.

I heard lots of problems with Ebay, be carefull of offshore buyers.

I know someone that is looking. What are you asking? Will you deal? I don't know if your car fits into his search criteria. Color, year, options, etc. But it's worth posting.

BTW is that a stock color?

That is a stock color. I've always liked copper metallic.

Put it this way, if you advertise it on craigslist, Craig will personally see your ad and then post it on the main forum of the club site. It's like getting double coverage for your ad. :-)

I CAN'T BELIVE YOUR SELLING YOUR CAR. Jim, that car of yours is imac-a-pruf-a-bitchen. What, did you find satisfaction in the dark side? You bought the Boxter didn't you. Damn Jim, I'm sorry. Kewl, cause someones going to get a nice car from this, O.K. You had that car over 20 years. I'm sure you'll love what ever you replace her with.
Good Luck
Joe
P.S. just another pic of my new car

Don't just put your car for sale in one venue, use everyone that is available to you to use. Craigslist,ebay,Pelican,914club,rennlist,yahoo auction,carsoup.com,colletorcartraderonline.com,autotrader.com,local newspaper.
Why limit yourself to just one or two,get the most exposure that you can.

Jim: I don't know what 1.8s go for, but your car is one of the cleanest I've seen. You pay way to much attention to that car. I wana say 8k, /L. says 10k. In its entire life, anything it needed to remain prestine, you gave it. I just paid 20k for what I thought was the perfect -6, prolly worth 25k. I think Lnda is right. I don't like evil-bay. Most of the cars I buy come from Trader.com. So what do I do with all the L-jet parts you didn't take?
Good Luck
Joe
