I thought caps were like shouting, but either way, it can be sorta obnoxious.

I'm definitely not trying to start a flame war. The car did really well for a 4. With any body conversion, you just have to find the right owner, thats it. Congrats to Steve!

There is no flame or war here, it is good and fun to have an open discussion like this !!! Do you guys remember the vote poll on "how much money have you put into your car, really ?", Well a very high percent put over 20k k or more into their 914s (including me !!). Look at how much it costs for a simple rare 914 part. If you sell a stock 914 for 10-13k it has to be IMMACULATE !! Now, we all know, if you find an immaculate stock 914, it was put together that way, and if it is all original with original miles, well you can either buy it or use the money for a down payment on a house!!! So if he put 32k into it and had a 43% loss, (which who gets a 100% sale ? ) than imagine the loss that cars out there that have 32k into them (I actually fall into this $ bracket), but are stock, and only sell their cars for $10-13k have !!! I think they sell for less than a conversion because you can find a clean stock 914 for sale all of the time, but to find a car like Steves' really brings back memories for people, and is original, and is something that people fantasized about doing to their car, but maybe didn't have the know how or the artistic mind to do so, therefore, they don't mind kicking up the higher price for a different car !
