I have sadly made the decision that I just won't have the time for my 914 restoration project. I have had great experiences with eBAY and was considering trying to sell it that way.
My concern is the shipping. I am thinking that it might seem a little ambitious to expect someone to pay for/help arrange shipping for a car that I only expect to get $1500 for to begin with. Has anyone had any experience that could shed some light on this subject? |

If your 914 is fairly straight and rust free (and considering how badly rusted most 914s are in the midwest and north), you might be pleasantly suprised at the response / bids you may get even with shipping charges. I live in Florida and I've bought 3 914s from CA for that reason. I'd wait at least until Jan to market it, as cars are waaaaay down the priority list this time of year for most people and they have tax checks coming then. As for shipping, open transport from CA to NE or south shouldn't be much more than $800. Let the buyer be resonsible for all shipping arrangements and fees. Be sure to CYA for any damages that may occur during shipping to be buyers responsibility. Buyers FYI, ask the shipper to use wheel straps to secure 914s, as there are no good places to attach chain hooks without causing damage. I found out the hard way. The idiot driver put the chain hooks in the pan triangles and ripped both about 3". OUCH!
