Are we speaking the same language?, Trying to buy a 914 Options

[David Stowers]

Hi All,
Ive been trying to buy a 914 fore some months now and am getting really frustrated.
On two occasions I thought Id agreed a deal with sellers here and then from that stage nothing, no emails nothing.
Am I missing something here? I accept that as an overseas buyer people may rather deal with someone local but all I need is to be told thats whats going on. Instead its as if the seller has gone to jail or something and lost access to email or been abducted by aliens!
I guess it may work differently between US and UK but surely if someone changes their mind its not a big deal to let me know?
Rant over, anyone selling an 914, preferably pre 74 and as original as possible. Ive got about $5500 burning a hole in my pocket and a Porsche-less garage

Bob - That cute gal on the car will find it difficult to keep a good tan living in the UK.

Is she OK with that?

I prefer ladies with big bumpers to 914s with them. In the English summer you have to sunbathe every day for a month just to get white

It may have saved you from a bad 914, just keep looking & keep a WTB post in the cars classifieds on here. Specify whether the $5500 is including or excluding customs/etc. & shipping costs across the pond, as that can cut into the price substantially.

You can also set up for sale email notices off your searches on eBay (USA), check under Porsches in the classifieds at TheSamba.com, Lemonfree.com, etc., plus there is a Craig's List search & notice feature on here & over at 914club.com (the latter covers more of the USA CL listings).

Good Luck on the ongoing hunt!

Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
