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? |

Yeah, I'm interested in buying a 914. I've been lurking this board and the others for some time now.
There aren't a ton of 914's for sale in the Vancouver area, or in Canada in general. I prefer to buy something local or at least not too far of a drive (Washington, Oregon). The car doesn't have to be perfect, I expect to spend time & money to tune it up, etc. But I don't want one with structural rust. And I agree with you, Chris, that it would be great to find someone from one of the 914 boards who's selling their car at a fair price. It shows that they're somewhat knowledgeable about teeners. |
