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? |

I found mine on ebay. Had it checked out by a guy in local PCA out there had a PPI done. Contacted the seller and bought it. Had the car shipped, and got a non-transferable dealer title the next day. Took an attorney and close to 4 months be4 I finally got a proper title. Car looks very nice but wasnt what it was represented to be. Best advice I can offer, make sure the owner faxes you a copy of the title, and have some1 who knows 914s inside and out inspect it before making any kind of commitment.
Murphys Law definetly kicked in on mine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) 1/2 the 914s out there are grousely misrepresented. Good Luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
