I have a 1975 2.0 we have done extensive work on for an Australian owner who passed away. A very solid car, minimal rust, runs great, stock fuel injection, recent transaxle repair and reseal, 4 straight Mahle's, 19mm ATE master cylinder, new brake hoses and pads, nice dash and interior, no crashes. Needs oil cooler added, summer oil temp 240 degrees, windshield resealed, paint, clearcoat peeling off.

This is a good car that most of the 40 year old maladies have been fixed. The ad pretty well covers the problems. The oil temp needs to be addressed by summer. For some unknown reason, many 1975 and 1976 914's have high oil temp. The windshield reseal was deferred until paint. It can look better but it probably needs a repaint depending on your expectations. No crashes, good suspension, shocks, brakes, lights, park brake, horn, excellent transaxle and clutch, glass, interior, straight Mahle's, good (but older) tires, major maintenance service, (plugs, points, valve adjust, change all fluids, body lube oil and filters) recent Interstate battery, all new fuel hoses and no oil leaks all add up to a way above average 914. I have been repairing 914's for 43 years, most of the $10,000 plus cars you'll find will need at least $3000. in maintenance and repairs immediately after purchase. No hidden problems on this car. $8400

Hi Brad,

Walt

Walt, thanks for the offer. I feel the $8400. price is fair also, It's not my car. Brad

Looks like this car got its paint job. I wonder what it'll sell for.

"This 914 with its 2.0 engine will outrun any stock 914-6"

For real?!

It looks to me that the bidding on the freshly painted car has more than doubled the asking price. Wow.

BUYER BEWARE!!!

Posted by: iwanta914-6 Apr 11 2016, 01:26 PM

Huh? I think Brad is pretty legit in the 914 world.

Posted by: 914ltd Apr 11 2016, 02:40 PM

BUYER BEWARE?
Isn't this the guy who was banned from posting on Pelican Parts a few years ago?
With that, who should we BEWARE of?

Posted by: SirAndy Apr 11 2016, 03:46 PM

I always had a feeling that you were the dangerous type ...

Posted by: 914ltd Apr 11 2016, 04:48 PM

Just to be clear, the BUYER BEWARE was aimed at me, not lostreasure.
My detractor did not read the thread.

Yes, I'm a real badass. One pissed off service customer in the 27 years since I brought my German car business home to work exclusively with air cooled Porsche.

You know what, I'm quite proud of that!

I would love to have this car. I would drive my current 914 to IL which I have much more than the asking price in and trade if Brad recommended it. I have been wrong before but I am pretty sure Brad is not a concern to beware of.

Posted by: era vulgaris Apr 11 2016, 11:21 PM

Why do you still post on this forum?
If only someone had told me 'buyer beware' about you.

Wellll..... I for one have never been satisfied with my dealings with 914ltd and Brad Mayeur.

I'd have to go with at least very satisfied, or maybe extremely satisfied.

What cause you crap on people and then join up here to do the same and then get all upset and childish cause you got caught out by a member on here,funny didn't take long eh ?,go away...seriously.
The guy you have put your wrath on is the most standup guy on here,my car wouldn't be what it is without Brads help.
