A while back, there was a thread about the price of a 914-6 that was for sale.
As usual it was an interesting discussion with all the arguments for a high price or against. Somebody posted a Craiglist ad to compare the car in discussion with another nice one. Well, I prefered the one from the Craiglist ad and it seemed that nobody else did. The same day I contacted the owner to express my interest and ask for more infos / photos. Then I asked Andy if he would be so kind to help me out with a PPI - and he did. He inspected the car with all his experience in every detail and sent me a huge report with all the good and not so good things he found. To be honest, I've never seen such a detailed report before. This made it quite easy to take the decision - to buy the car. Thank you Andy !! After some difficulties with the wire transfer, yesterday was the day ... but due to the time gap I got the info today's morning (9/14 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ): The car got picked up by the shipping company - that means, that I'm a 914-6 owner again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) It will take quit a lot of time till I will see the car in person, but from now on I own it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rocking nana.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) I hope the shipping and all will work as fine as the purchase did ... |

I'm glad you bought it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)
This car needed to go to a good home. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It'll need some TLC, but overall this is a very good example of a nice numbers matching car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Andy |

Congratz! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
Geez that's a gorgeous looking 914-6! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) I can't imagine that it has much on the negatives list, but Andy would know what TLC it needs! I don't recall the CL ad for it, but what price did you get it for? Also, hang onto those Blue/Yellow California plates for it, as you'll want them for future resto/sale & shows, since they look to be the right sequence for the original ones, & they're in great shape!

thanks for all your comments (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
I'll need to convert some things to Euro-style to get it street legal over here; not much work, but pretty expensive ... Engine+trans will need a propper reseal - in Austria I won't get a car street legal with oil leaks; some body seals need to be replaced some minor things are not correct fot MY'70 and some are missing as for the price ... let's say: sufficient (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) oh yes ... the blue plates will be sent in an extra FedEx box (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif) |
