Good morning- first of all best wishes for a happy new year to everyone.
Seller described this car is having a "straight body" but when I just looked at it more carefully this appears to have been an accident and had a poor rear clip replacement. Rear trunk floor is dimpled. Missing jack receivers too. Could I ask that more experienced 914 owners take a look and let me know what you think? I have not bought this car yet, I struck a deal on it based upon seller being a fellow Porsche guy... Attached thumbnail(s) |

That car is very rough. People can be very nice and well meaning but get it totally wrong when they are selling a car. You need to buy based on facts, not emotion. It’s also very rusty based on the pictures you have shown. I hope you’re not paying more than $1k. You’re in CA. I’m surprised you would even look at that car. Thank you for the fast response. I was not paying a lot but significantly more than $1k. I had not inspected it in person until just now since it was 500 miles away. I had been going on what turns out to be selective pictures from the seller and his in depth assurances on the car being straight. Was a Colorado car, have had good luck in the past buying from there but not this time. Thank you again for the thoughts. |
