Thoughts on why this car hasn't sold?, '73 914 sitting unsold. Options

[locorico1013]

Owner of this car has given me permission to post this. I'm looking for a '73-4 2.0 and he suggested I check his out. So I'm wondering why it has sat without a buyer since January. Price is an obvious issue but wondering if you all see something else here. Other possible answers:

- He's in Canada and there will be import tax and associated hassles
- The car is not a true 2.0 yet asking a pure 2.0 premium price for a non-original car
- Red cars don't sell as well as the other unique period colors
- It's had 3+ owners in just under 4 years
- small item, but it's odd that it did not have a factory console because based on all research, all '73's came with one.

Any other feedback you all can provide would be appreciated. Of course if you know anybody else selling a similar car, I'm all ears. Thanks in advance.

If you want the car, ignore the asking price and offer what it's worth to you. The worst case senerio is you hear - no.

BTW - this technique saves so much time and you would be surprised how often it gets you the car.

I agree. The answer is no unless you ask. I think the car looks great and is worth whatever you are willing to pay based on what you think. The price tag is a starting point of reference when buying a car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif)
