A while back, there was a thread about the price of a 914-6 that was for sale.
As usual it was an interesting discussion with all the arguments for a high price or against.
Somebody posted a Craiglist ad to compare the car in discussion with another nice one.
Well, I prefered the one from the Craiglist ad and it seemed that nobody else did.
The same day I contacted the owner to express my interest and ask for more infos / photos.
Then I asked Andy if he would be so kind to help me out with a PPI - and he did.
He inspected the car with all his experience in every detail and sent me a huge report
with all the good and not so good things he found.
To be honest, I've never seen such a detailed report before.
This made it quite easy to take the decision - to buy the car.

Thank you Andy !!

After some difficulties with the wire transfer, yesterday was the day ...
but due to the time gap I got the info today's morning (9/14 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ):
The car got picked up by the shipping company - that means, that I'm a 914-6 owner again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

It will take quit a lot of time till I will see the car in person, but from now on I own it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rocking nana.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

I hope the shipping and all will work as fine as the purchase did ...

I'm glad you bought it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

This car needed to go to a good home. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


It'll need some TLC, but overall this is a very good example of a nice numbers matching car.

Congratz! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Geez that's a gorgeous looking 914-6! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

I can't imagine that it has much on the negatives list, but Andy would know what TLC it needs!

I don't recall the CL ad for it, but what price did you get it for?

Also, hang onto those Blue/Yellow California plates for it, as you'll want them for future resto/sale & shows, since they look to be the right sequence for the original ones, & they're in great shape! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

thanks for all your comments (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)


I'll need to convert some things to Euro-style to get it street legal over here; not much work, but pretty expensive ...
Engine+trans will need a propper reseal - in Austria I won't get a car street legal with oil leaks;
some body seals need to be replaced
some minor things are not correct fot MY'70 and some are missing

as for the price ... let's say: sufficient (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

oh yes ... the blue plates will be sent in an extra FedEx box (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif)
