You folks are both right.
I couldn't say it better myself.... but I'll try. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) For this kind of money, the buyer needs to get on a plane, get a PPI, and properly assess to the best of their ability a real value. Some really great and handy 914 people have previously smashed /6s, which I'd have no issue buying once done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) You are buying the seller with these old cars. On the other side, as a seller, you disclose everything you know. That is, if you know. Otherwise, you are NOT a seller I'd want to interact with either way. Whether this seller is duped or not is irrelevant. Whether you actually did a top notch restoration on this, is only relevant to the degree you disclose it, which is not the case here. Put yourself in the drivers seat after writing a check for this bad boy, would you want to know? Uh, yeah. Just saying emperor caveat doesn't adequately fill in the blanks. I remember way back seeing a /6 that had a later car (about half of it) welded on....poorly. It had no story and no description, you couldn't align it, and it was worthless. I've seen another /6 that had been smashed flared and painted a non stock color I'd LOVE to own. Fully disclosed. The glue in all of this debate is the TRUTH. There is no substitute. Cheers. |
