So as some of you know I have been searching around Maryland for my first 914. 2 weeks ago on the 4th a seller named Jim in VA, 2 hours away, had a 72 with a transplanted 2.0 in it. He only had 2 pics and little to no info on it, but did have his phone number. I saw the ad 7 hours after it was posted to craigslist for $2500. I later received an email stating it was sold. 2 days ago this pops up on eBay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/172783341024?_trks...utorefresh=true While the car does have issues, for $2500 Can it be all that bad? My rant is about the seller. I realize making money is nice and while everyone wants to make a quick buck it sucks to be on something I almost had. He now has it for sale at BIN $7800 or best offer. I offered him $3500 stating he would make a quick $1000. He declined. Sorry just wanted to get that off my chest. |

914's are kewl Group: Members Posts: 1,776 Joined: 6-June 03 From: San Ramon, CA Member No.: 791 Region Association: Northern California |
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Be glad you "missed out" on that one. No pics of hell hole. The rust on the sail panel looks like it was simply painted over at one time. If you want to get in cheap, then I hope you have your own shop and welding skills. Buy as sub-$5K car and get to welding. Otherwise, you are going to have to spend north of $10K these days it seems (and the car will still have some rust issues but nothing terminal). IMHO, the days of cheap 914's are gone. I have a 1974 2.0L Alaska Blue in my garage. It is currently being disassembled for restore but still has glass, doors, dash, suspension and motor in it ( http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=257306&hl= ). I would NOT take less than $12K for it today because the body is in good/great shape. And yes, it needs some minor/medium hell hole repair but the longs are solid. Anyway, just my opinion. |
