Hoping some of you can check out these pictures and let me know what you think. Supposed to leave at 3:30pm to inspect the car. It has some of the typical 914 rust issues in the trunks and battery/hellhole. How bad does it look to you? The price of the car is $7xxx. It's a 72 1.7 with a lot of miles on it, but currently in good running shape. Is the price too high? Do you think a sanding and respray of that trunk will fix the rust or will it possibly need metal replaced?
Please check out the pics and give me your opinion.... http://s10.photobucket.com/albums/a125/phi...r/silver%20914/ |

I would be most concerned with the Hell Hole and behind the rockers. Look the rest of the car over very carefully including along the channels that hold the front and rear trunk seals as rust can hide there.
It doesnt look like the seller has a clamp on the battery so it should be easy to get a good look underneath it. Poke around down in the lowest area looking for the probable hole there. If all else checks out and you think $7xxx is a fair price make the offer pending inspection of the area behind the rockers. Oh and look at all the seals on the car, those can cost some $$$$ to replace. Jim |
