however why should the buyer chase the seller,thats not how it works...............


True for parts that are not rare or average condition. Not true for hard to find rare parts and NOS ones.


That's for damn sure. For anything air cooled you better hit the ground running. There are flippers/dealers waving cash. The rarer the car, the more work the buyer is doing to close the deal. Some people may not like that. But, if you don't want to be one of the members on here who are always moaning about "just missed buying a car" you better be willing to chase.

For something mundane like a Camry? Well, porschetub might be right.

These type of threads need to be careful not to scaremonger.


I agree with that.

Once again, for the OP his risk can be easily managed since he is the seller and not the buyer. I've sold several cars overseas with no problem (Germany, Netherlands, UK).

I've found the overseas buyers are actually more trusting than the US based buyers. They've wired very large sums of money with very little info from me.

Remember, you buy the seller as much as you are buy the car.

For anyone wondering, that would be me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif)

Anyway, I'm in talks with him. I just need to get through the holidays. If it sells before then, it will just be another one that got away (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

I've found that as long as YOU control your deal wisely, take only cash, and communicate well, things work out swimmingly.

No cash, no car.

ON another forum I look over, they will not let a newbie sell until 40 posts, unless it's a business with a front door and www.

I like that idea.

Have you noticed the increase in number of new people suddenly showing up with loads of NOS and used 914 parts? Where are these coming from ?
