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? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I've bought both my teener's sight unseen, first car a red 2.0 74 was an ebay car, I feel the key is asking all the right questions, and getting a feeling for the seller over the phone!!! If he is annoyed cause you asked him to check behind the rockers run away, this is no the type of person you want to be buying sight unseen from! My current car was not an ebay car but I had Sammy go check out and at least 10 lengthy phone conversations with the seller, Thanks to sammy and my questions it was a no suprize car either when I picked it up, and is actually much turned out to be nicer than I thought, now that I have had time to go throught it. head to toe. Ferg.
