The ad is quite wordy which makes me think to run away. But, I'm not savvy enough about 914s so I thought I'd ask for help from the experts. Based on the description and pics, is the price fair? Is anything jumping out at you that I should look for? I'm going to see it this weekend. Thanks.

photographs well.
Too many words in that description for me right now. 5k seems very fair on the surface. |

why so cheap?
i should probably give mine away and buy that one - i'd be money ahead of the game... so - that's the question i'd ask. look for rust. probably somebody in NorCal knows the car and the backstory. it certainly sounds good from 3000 mi away. |

I think I saw this car is on eBay with more pics. The pics looked good.
I wonder where it is. Car on eBay |

If its for real and you go look at it bring money, or you will miss the opportunity to steal it.

I call BS, that is way too cheap, he either posted the price and the 1 is missing from the front or it is just a way for this guy to get phone calls. He even goes on to post how much it would cost to build one or replace it. Why would anyone go to all that trouble and sell it for only $5k? Something doesnt sound right here.

That's got to be a typo error on the price. I'd bet he means $15K.
If it's what he says, it's a $15K car. Just my guess-estimate. Tom |

It's a joke. Somebody stole the pics and description from ebay and stuck it up on craigslist. Otherwise it makes no sense. Why would a guy with a live auction going on with the current bid at $14K put up a craigslist ad like this just this morning?

$15K highest bid on eBay?! OK, forget it. No way he'd sell it for $5K on craigslist. Must've been a typo. Outta my price range. Thanks for the feedback guys.

Looks like a new kind of scam (maybe not new). Pictures and description stolen from E-bay, and then advertised on craigslist. Then the craigslist dude tries to pull the "I'm in a foreign country send me mony" scam. Here's what I got from him:
