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 David |

You have a good sense of humor about it. The sun tan thing was hilarious! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)
Eventually a car will come along. I would suggest you have any car you intend on purchasing inspected. BTW: there were a couple rollers for sale here for $ 3000.00 and they still had a very small rust issue. So $ 5500.00 now is a tall but not unobtainable order. |
