It looks good from pics, will the seller let you inspect it? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

Don't rush it... find a car you have time to look at before buying, you can post pics(we can tell your what pics to take) and we can help you look at it.. trust me, my first teener: I paid too much for and it was un-savable(by me)... it will be a bad experience if you rush it... go drink a beer!!

If it is in your price range, buy it. Don't send a deposit, just go to pick it up. The two highighted sections in the seller's listing would give you an out if the car is not what it is advertised to be. |

Doesn't look too bad..... everything looks relatively clean.
Still seems a little pricey thugh..... but I can understand that it being so close would save you shipping costs. What WORRIES me is that there are no engine and hellhole pics. Hmmm |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) these 2 areas+ the suspension (trailing arm) under the battery need to be CAREFULLY looked over... |

I agree with the take your time responses. Last August I sold my 1.7 with my sights on a 2.0 that was 20 miles away. The 2.0 sold 2 days before mine did and the owner didn't call me, and no I didn't put up a deposit (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) I just kept looking and in March, drove my new one home some 900+/- miles. You can find a good car for under $4K. You just have to be patient.

Agreed. If you'd caught this at the BEGINNING of the auction, you could have gone and taken a peek at it first... or even brought someone else with you. But although this one looks pretty clean.... you can be assured that if there's visible rust, there's a LOT MORE non-visible rust that you'll find later. There's no pictures of the engine, none of the battery, the hellhole, the suspension, etc. All you have is the guy's word..... a faceless eBayer. I'd wait....... Not that this car doesn't look pretty nice.... but I'd still wait. |

Thanks for the input guys!
I guess I shall go home today and have a nice stiff drink and just let this teener go. If it is meant to be then it will be. So I guess this isn't meant to be. I'll tell you this. Searching for a teener is really quite a challenge. Hey but they say that the search is half of the fun!!! One day I will have my teener!!! Right now my Jack stands will just have to lonely for another night! |

Good decision. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)
The rust that he does show is at least cause for caution. Might be a nice car, but I would assume there is much more rust until I saw otherwise for myself. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) |

I'd buy it. You could always flip it to someone else if there is a problem. To have one so close to you is rare.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) it's ultimately your call... I'm leery of not getting to look at it first though... the cancer is there, you have no idea on how deep it is though... but I do understand... your best options right now probably include shipping a car from the west... and that's not cheap... but fixing all the rust on an east car isn't cheap either... or easy |

"Previous owner disconnected the heating sytem rather than replace heat exchangers and Air Box Flapper Valves"
I wonder if these items needed replaced because of rust? The rust on the body needs immediate care and shows that this baby does have some rust. I live only minutes from Bethlehem and have never seen this one or any other 914 in this area. It would be interesting to have a good look underneath this car and in the hell hole. Spoke |

DONT RUSH! take your time, from reading your last post, you are new to the 914...the right car at the right price will come along for you...if you rush , you could be stuck with a pile of shit....longs fiberglassed over, same with the hell hole. members on this site are great....they will help you find a car, and do a pre purchase inspection for you...you are probably better off getting a car from the west coast, or texas that is relatively rust free...you will have to pay to have it shipped, but rust repair will be more expensive in the long run....S L O W D O W N, (IT IS NOT EASY) you will find what you are looking for!
good luck (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flag.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flag.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flag.gif) Joe |

You made the right choice. I can tell you right now that all of those rust bubble areas are HOLES just waiting to be unleashed with a little sanding. And if it has that much visible rust, there is more lurking where the cameraman feared to tread. |
