Good gawd - all you nit-pickers. If that car is as nice as it looks the seller is taking a loss at 50k.

I agree. Every time a nice car comes around it is like a fuching contest around here to see who can tear it apart the fastest. 9 times out of 10 the car is nicer than anything the nit-pickers will ever own. Maybe that is their motivation, I don't know....

This car is gorgeous, regardless of price. Any of us would be lucky to own it.

agreed.

We cogniscenti constantly berate the cars of fellow owners - i don't get it

- aren't we just a tiny club of folks of mostly modest means interested in an almost forgotten car that time has passed by, all hoping for the prices to rise enuf to justify the money we've spent restoring or personalizing and customizing our own?

We should all be celebrating any 914 we actually see running and driven. And congratulating anyone who actually sells one for more than they have "invested".

A rising tide ....

i don't get it

To me, attention to detail is important. I'm German after all.
While the car in question is nice (and so far everyone agrees on that), there *is* a apparent lack to details.

That, combined with the high asking price, is something that would turn me off if i was a potential buyer.
You obviously don't feel that way and that's perfectly fine!

But i do and i'll be damned if i can't express my opinion of a car just because some here feel it's somehow rude to say anything remotely negative about an expensive 914.

That's something i don't get.
