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

I buy a lot of them. And I broker deals too. More than half the deals I work that involve an overseas buyer fall apart. So yes, sellers might be skittish.
A solid 914 is now a $8,000 car minimum. 2.0 liter, low miles, original paint, no mods, etc all take the price up from there.
For $5500, you can find one with a respray, carbed engine and maybe some light modifications, probably wrong wheels, etc. minimal rust is as you only the most important.
Keep looking. You will find it. Or email me at randyfoulds@hotmail.com.
