I've been watching an EBAY listing of a 1973 Porsche 914, currently residing in Florida. Allegedly from California. Item #321784222819. White (new paint job) with a 5 lug conversion, 2.0L. Some pics, reportedly overall in good condition. I've inquired for more pics of the undercarrage, engine compartment, trunk, any problems with the door gaps, etc.. It's hard to draw a conclusion on the value without more info/pics. of the car. Anyhow just looking for some feedback or maybe someone in the area that knows the car. Thanks

I also saw this listing and asked for more photos. Never got em, either. Maybe the guy who bought it did a personal inspection. I hope so. I bought a car on ebay sight-unseen and without proper photos. Learned that lesson the hard way. I suppose at 5K he's got a decent amount of room to make repairs. He's got about a grand in body work and repainting that was visible in the pics. If the rest of the car is ok, he got a steal...but I somehow think there's hidden issues there. Otherwise why a "buy it now" for 5K? Seemed like buyer bait to me.

What do you mean bought it out from underneath you. Did you have an agreement with the seller? If it's an ebay seller it's pretty much fair game until an agreement is in place. The buyer could just as easily be thinking, "snooze, you lose".

Good luck and keep trying.
