Has anyone actually bought a 914 off of eBay for a decent price?
I looked at this car in person before it was listed on eVilbay: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...3&category=2030 The guy was asking $3100 (Canadian). It didn't run (likely bad fuel injection problems), there were rust holes in all the usual places, and many other problems. It just sold for $4700 (Canadian), probably to somebody who didn't get a chance to look at the car. Is it even worth shopping cars on eBay? |

QUOTE(acox914 @ May 23 2003, 08:42 AM) i would alwyas have tio look at the car before i would buty it! otherwise it is like buying blind! the Evil part of ebay is the didhonesty of some of the sellers.....ne pic or no pic and being sold a completely different item then the one on ebay! Yeah it's hit-or-miss. I know there are definitely some respectable folks who sell there, but there is also a lot of crap. I looked for several months for my car, and almost bid on a couple of e-bay mobiles. Seems like every time I asked for some close up pics of the rust they stopped responding. I thought it was odd that I rarely knew the seller, even though I was on like 4 or 5 914 bbs's every night looking for a car. Are you looking to buy a car? What are you looking for? I would prefer to buy one from someone here, or from a respected source. There are plenty of guys on this BB who buy and sell 914s who could find you a good one. Good Luck! Chris H. |
