Ive really been itching lately to find a nice clean 914 in Blue. There are so many lovely colors for the teeners but Ive never owned a blue car and I want my next car to be blue. Stupid? Yea probably, but anyways, the searching lead me to this one. Looks fairly clean but the picture of the hell hole is blurry and thats the ONE picture I want to be crystal clear. So what do you guys think? They have another one too that doesnt look bad either, but something about this one speaks to me |

8,000,000 pics but no money shots. That tells me everything I need to know about the asking price. You should go have a look, inspect it thoroughly and bring cash if you like it. Cash offers are king.

You should go have a look, inspect it thoroughly and bring cash if you like it. Cash offers are king. What do you mean by "money shots"? You need pictures of the hell hole area, preferably with the battery removed with some up close detail. Also removing the rocker panels expose the jack plates and other supporting metal as well as the longs for any rust coming through. For that kind of cash you don't want to be replacing those areas - way too much work and money. The claim of "rust free" is a relative statement as very few of these cars ever left the factory without rust! Okay, a slight exaggeration but you get the idea....
