I cant say I have seen many Salvaged DMV Certs on 914's but I did come across a 912E with Salvaged paper work recently and I thought, 'Who cares!', I would still buy it. I know for the PCA club member guy/gal this may be a big problem but if you are lucky to find and own one of these car that are 30-40 years old already aren't we all salvaging them to a certain extent anyways? Is it going to be a big deal to the next guy?
There are a great number of 914's being transplanted with 6's, Subaru pwr, or something similar. There are others buying 'Rollers' and building them up to track or as a DD or maybe even show. I know when I was looking for a 911SC a couple years ago you could find a Salvaged car every once in awhile for a 6k-8k difference and it was still a great looking vehicle! The Salvaged 911's where usually purchased by the race or track guys because it did not matter to them. There are a lot of good deals on Salvaged cars and I am always tempted by their lower cost but hesitant of the Salvaged cert. I am slowly coming around though and if the right car comes up I might go for it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

I bought my first 914 this summer with a salv title out of cali but had eyes on it from several folks both from in & out of this site I'm the third owner and I've got all the documentation on it -the original window sticker, regular service records, repair records from the fender smash that got it totaled in the early 90's etc
I looked for about a year and a half & missed out on several I wanted I feel like I got a good deal on it & it's everything I thought'd be the good and the things that need attention if my daughter wants to sell it 40+ years from now I'm sure the title status will matter less bottom line is do your homework get the best car you can regardless of title status & drive the wheels off it! |
