- Looks like the car used to be yellow.
- That turquoise is not a stock 914 color and there's overspray everywhere. - The bolts in the rear trunk look like mounts for some sort of aftermarket sway bar. - The rear trunk floor has been "repaired". If you are lucky, they cut out the rust and patched in a flat piece of metal (instead of using the readily available and correct reproduction metal), if you are unlucky they just covered up the rust and it's still underneath that flat piece. - Hacked wiring everywhere. - No images of the underside, which is always a red flag. For $24k (Canadian?) i would expect a lot better than this ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

For $24k (Canadian?) i would expect a lot better than this ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) $24000 Canadian is about $18050 USD If the longs, etc., checked out the price is about what I'd expect from a dealer , but I'm on the other side of the country and prices tend to be higher here. At this price point I'd expect the car to be safety certified. Not sure on British Colombia car certification (safety) regulations but here (Ontario Canada) no E-brakes would be an instant fail, you can't get plates (tags) till it's fixed, likely the reason it's being sold "as is". I find it odd that it's not being advertised locally, Kijiji ads are free to cheap. I get alerted to any 914 F/S all Canada kijiji and I haven't seen this one. Big red flag. I would definitely get a PPI from a shop of your choice. FB 914 Canada has members in BC that might look at it for you. Four of the rear trunk bolts are likely a rear oil cooler mount. |
