Someone probably paid them to haul that POS off their property and now they want $4K for it.....at least they posted a bunch of photos to show it is an absolute POS. I don't believe I have ever seen a car they are trying to sell that is not in that condition. Seems like they only sell garbage.


(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) funny thing is that they have advertised better 914's for less that that in the past,how do they come up with their pricing...that's a car you pick up for free.

I managed to see through the junk when I was on my hunt to buy one plus I wasn't impressed with their communications.

However I did go see one in Belgium that the seller made look much better in the pictures. It was rotten across the entire rear floor and was folded to the point the doors were shut solid. A bit of a unique spin on the description too. Nice trip to Belgium though.

Might be a combination of both in this case! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif)

If someone went to see the car, they would be able to see the VIN.

At least in the state I'm in, every used car on a dealers lot needs to have a window sticker with: Warranty yes / no , Year , Make , Model, VIN.

When a dealer buys a car, the title is still in the previous owners name but the dealer must send a form to the state listing any cars the are holding with "open" titles. If they are really brokering the car for someone else, they would not be required to do this.

I wonder if there are any CA laws requiring the dealer to list the VIN / make a report to the state?

Also, I posted the below in another thread.

Detecting a cut and move VIN swap requires zero 914 knowledge beyond where the factory VIN's are stamped.

If one X rays the fender stamping it will be apparent a new one has been welded in. Also a careful inspection of the front inner fender to see if it has been replaced but the actual fender is as factory would uncover this.

I'd also expect a VIN buff and restamp to show up in an X ray also.

See this for a VIN cut swap.

Here is an interesting wrinkle. Dynacorn makes complete replacement bodies:

QUOTE
Welcome to DynacornBodies.com your source your replacement classic body shells restoring classic cars such as 1967 to 1969 Camaro, 1965 to 1970 Mustang, 1967 to 1969 Firebird, 1970 Chevelle, 1970 Challenger and even a 1947 to 1954 Chevy Truck!, .


What would a car built from a new shell be considered? From what I recall, Porsche offered a reshell program for severely crashed cars, what would one of those be considered?

I value cars / machines on what they are not if they came from the factory a certain way. To me a 2.0 LE is just some paint and options that were available on any other car.

I'm amused by the Six ad stating "Don't ask me what the VIN is, I'm only telling someone if they buy it." The seller knows how that is going to be "restored"--with a VIN swap.

A junk yard in the next county over has 4-5 that aren't too much worse than the OP if anyone is interested -- and foolhardy.

The only thing of value is the interior.
Steering wheel, silver dot dials, seats, seat pad, ash tray... no mirror (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

I thought these 2 snaps sum this car up best:

not sticking up for bhcc and yes that car is a POS. however, their comment (Great project for full restoration) and the pictures a very clear.

to answer the OP question: not me. but there is a lid for almost every pod. I guess it's a free market after all.....

If it were a pre-A coupe, people would be falling all over themselves to get it. That time is coming for 914s... maybe not soon, but it's coming.
