Why would BaT advertise this as a "28k-Mile 1974 Porsche 914" without verifying the mileage?

i'd have to look at the wording on the ad.
sometimes they use language that says indicated mileage etc.

anyway we all know with a car this old - we are talking half a century, its up to the buyer to arm himself or herself.

its still a very original car. i would not take away from that.

i don't know if you saw the little old ladies car from florida last year (or was it the year before, losing track of time due to covid dicktator nonsense down here for last few years (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) - that was in a league above this one that made it quite believable.
that one was definitely collector material and it was a really humble 1.7 in secretary spec.
i think it pulled 70K.
which is what @Big Len is speculating at?

i wouldn't plump down those kind of dollars.
but then again it is 2022 and not 1989 any more.
and for some inexplicable reason the 914 seems to have become mainstream desirable all of a sudden. go figure.

EDIT
i read the ad again.
the copy just says "shows 27K miles).
i guess they are not lying. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
admittedly the banner headline is a bit more sensationalist.
BAT don't have any way to verify it?
its up to the owner to throw down all the records.
interesting that he has not included the owners manual in the photos.
it seems to have one, it looks like its lying on the floor of the car in the older ad that flaca productions found. maybe there are no stamps in there and its of no use.
i mean these things were not ferraris back in the day where everyone kept meticulous records. they were just "everyman" sports cars.
