Too much money if you have to get in there to cut and weld... To clarify here is a picture of the hell hole,,,,,,,,,, NO RUST in there ! Cheers ! At this price you must explain, here is the previous pic  Hard to tell from your after pic but to my eye it looks like it was painted over by black paint or ? Was the before rust cut out? |

Don't think anyone is bashing or claiming you are ripping anyone off. I read many compliments on how its a nice car and how it would be a nice driver, I agree with that.
You gave permission for discussion on why your car has not sold. Opinions and facts about your car were brought up in relation to your asking price. I pointed out one of the most important aspects of any used 914 purchase and asked for clarification on how it was repaired. |

Yes and you used a picture that is from I dont know how many years ago !! this problem was fixed by previous owner and I think I mentionned there was No rust that I could find. Again, no bashing I just asked how the repair was made? If you don't know how the repair was done, then fine, say that. You posted a picture of the current area that appears to have black paint in the hell hole. I just pointed out that any informed buyer would want details on the repair. Again, I like the car, it appears to be a nice one. But you are at a disadvantage being across the border. PPI by a buyer in person from the USA is not likely. IMO if you want the car to sell, you need to be much more detailed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
