They say that there are people out there with more money than brains. Used to think that was bogus, but this car sorta proves it to be correct. Pardon me, but it's a mess! Buy & restore it (at it's current absurd price) & you'll have 50-60k in it.
There are better options out there. |

Ummmm why? Are they really worth that much in all original condition? It seems to me that that car would be a HUGE headache and drain on finance to repair....engine is shot, carbs shot needs, all the usual rust repair...

Since the seller seems to have a problem with my PPI, I'll just pull it.

Who would pay almost $12,000 for a 914-6 without a working motor and possibly not repairable. Are the 914-6s worth that much in original, but in need of restoration, trim?

The seller said the drop in the Dollar vs the Euro made it very appealing to the overseas buyers.

Can I get this one dad?? Group: Members Posts: 1,185 Joined: 11-August 07 From: Palmetto, FL Member No.: 7,987 Region Association: None |
When I was looking for a 914 to buy I started looking at a few German sites...the reason I bought a car from the states and had it shipped is because of the ridiculous amount of money they want here in Deutchland.
It does not surprise me that an overseas buyer would pay that much, 12k US is about 8400 Euro. The Germans were wanting 9,000 Euro for cars in worse condition than this one. I looked at a car in Friedrichstall, northwest of Stuttgart, that had the battery tray totally gone, rear trunk rusted through, passenger door would not open and you had to get some ether into the engine to get it to start. Guy wanted 7500 Euro. Hope whoever buys it knows what they are getting into... |

I shipped my car over from the states. I have looked around since I have been here just to compare and the prices are insane. The conversion rate makes it even worse. I have been offered twice what I paid for my car on more than one occasion. All of the Germans seem to love it and wish they still had their old one.
After seeing what Michelko did with his 914, I am sure whoever gets it will be fine. |

   Let me first introduce myself as Andre's son. I actually found this car and decided to buy the car not too long ago. Unfortunately I couldn't go with my dad to the warehouse today to show Ron the car as I was at school. Let me first respond to all these posters and lurkers by saying that most of you make lots of assumptions without anything to back yourselves up. My dad and I collect, restore, buy and sell these cars as a hobby. I'm big in the early 911 scene. I have bought 2 original 914/6's this year alone. The first one earlier this year that I bought was a time warp and was too nice to do a full restoration, so I decided to sell it and make a buck on. I finally found this car a few months ago to restore. This was the perfect car for a restoration. It was very solid. Bought it from a man who knows the history from 1976. Beautiful color and of coarse complete. I just read Ron's response to this forum and it really brings a question mark to me how you inspect cars. First off, did you make pics of the areas that are in question? For example, you assert that the passenger side jack point is totally rusted off. Then you say the trunk floor is rusted through. Then you say that the transmission is missing?? Come on. When you open the passenger door, it is laying right in front of your eyes!!!! The trunk floor rusted through??? Then you say the carbs are rusted. Ok, there is a little bit of surface rust on the sides, but generally if someone says carbs are rusted that means it is rusted through the thick metal and is almost disintegrated. Then you say the heads are rusted??? The heads are aluminum sir. I personally checked every single head, and everything looks in great shape with NO RUST. Then you say the bottom and pan is rusty. I'm trying to figure out what exactly your terms of "rust" is. The bottom of the car has some surface rust. I will include pics I took last week here. Ron also mentioned that he couldn't open the front trunk. That is because you have to pull on the wire up front to open it. The latch wire is disconnected from the latch by the drivers door. And lastly, we are only interested in showing the car to interested buyers. We (my dad) doesn't have the time to schedule an appointment in the middle of the day and take 25 mins driving to the warehouse to show the car to a guy burning up my time. I am more than happy to show the car to interested parties, but please dont waste my time, because we have a very busy schedule. Best regards, Erick |
