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. |

In 1989 I was looking for a 914 and found a decent one. I negotiated and got the buyer down to $2100 although he wasn't happy he agreed to the price as he was unemployed at that time. We hopped in the Porsche to go to my credit union for cash when a van pulled up. "How much did he offer for the 914?" the guy in the van asked. When the guy in the van heard the number, he offered $500 more. The owner of the Porsche turned to me and said "Get out of the car!" ..... hahahaha, so I did.

Sounds like you had an oral contract with this guy. Any witnesses to the agreement? |
