I called a local junk yard too see if they had any 914s. He said they ahd two, and I could come take a look if I wanted to, but they were pretty much parted out, and about to be crushed.
They had THE MOST destroyed 74 I's ever seen. BUT...the dash was REAL nice. It also had a nice rear-passenger lens that I wanted. So I get to the counter and inquire about those two pieces, as well as the phone-dial rims on the 944 next to it. $125ea for the rims (Ouch!) $125 for the rear light! (Pain!) $250 for the dash! (WTF?!?!?!?) Here's the kicker...THEY had to take the parts out. I wasn't allowed to touch the car with a wrench! So then I asked about the other 914 they said they had, he said they crushed it last week. Me: So you tell me this car is worthless, but it has $500 worth of parts in it? Him: Yeah. Me: And you are going to crush it next week? Him: Yeah. Me: I'll give you $400 for anything I need off the car, and you can crush it later. (Had some good glass on it, and a pretty decent pedal cluster) Him: No way...that car is worth $1,500 easy. Me: But you said you were going to cruch it next week. Him: Yeah. I just walked out...people are idiots. |
