I'm gauging interest in my 914 LE. I would like the car to go to a real 914 enthusiast so it is posted here only. I pulled it from a barn a year ago. It had $31k miles on the odometer. I have a little bit of supporting documentation on this but far from complete. The engine is fresh and is in the process of being tuned. We repainted the bumpers and they yellow trim but left the original paint. It has patina including many dents and dings etc. I was planning on keeping the car for myself but I'm looking to raise some funds so here goes. I'm thinking $25k or close. If interested, send a PM and I will send my phone number we can discuss the car. I'm not interested in endless messaging back and forth. Please, if you are interested, pick up the phone and call.

If you do not want countless messages back and forth I understand that but - Please have more pictures to answer the questions we may have. Carb or FI? Original Eng. Do you have the Porsche COA? Pictures of the problem areas. Hell hole, right long, trunk. How far is Brad Mayeur, 914 Ltd. East Peoria, IL from you to CK it out if it is a good one.

Thanks, This will help you get a buyer.

You will get all sorts wanting to know,by limiting people to a phone call is in this age its going to be a hard sale....that's reality.
You appear to be flipping this car so don't think you are selling a 911R,356 Carerra or a 914/6 and get carried away,these cars have a limited market.
There are better ways to sell on here,go well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) .

Yes. I know Brad. This car is solid. With no rust other than some surface rust on the pan from sitting. It has the original engine and FI and it runs as it should.

I am going back and forth in my mind on wether to sell this car. Maybe that's why I want to make the buyer put in a little effort. If I were really trying to flip this car for the best money, it would be on BAT already. Either way, I believe if someone is serious, they should be willing to pick up the phone. If that's too challenging in this day and age. So be it. I'm not trying to start a debate on here about it. I might be a little high for this market but it's priced pretty close to what a clean 2.0 Is going for. $25k might be a stretch but it's a starting point. It's easier to drop the price than raise it. Lol

Maybe, maybe not. Guess it would depend on condition but the three bumblebees I am aware of that sold in the last year were all between 30-40k. Granted they were "restored" but at that rate 25k for a solid driver doesn't seem to out of line.

We are not living in the 90s anymore unfortunately, time to start buying cheap Boxters.

I appreciate you posting here exclusively; however, if you are serious about selling this car, and it appears in the limited pictures posted to be nice, you really need to post the problem areas and obtain a COA from PCNA. GLWTS (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I read on another post that PCNA has temporarily stopped issuing COAs. If the owner doesn't already have one it might be difficult to prove the car is an authentic LE.

I just received the COA for my car yesterday. It took 5 weeks for them to process the order.

In my opinion COAs are now useless. Porsche is now demanding that the customer supplies engine and trans numbers. It seems all they do is print the COA with the info provided, which of course is useless.
Thoughts?

You would be wrong. They want the applicant to provide the SNs because of corruption by some applicants.

I want the factory to supply that information to me!! Not the other way around.As far as I can see that's the only way the COA means anything.

Well, I tried to study the photographs in Photobucket but I surrendered to all the pop-ups and ads (with music) that you can't remove.

That said, I own a Bumblebee (14584) and several items on this one are not accurate. I would need more photos and documentation to even consider this one at a 25k price. Not saying it's not possible, as there are several 914s of lesser value currently priced for more on eBay. Especially the same Bumblebee that shows up regularly and located in Poland. Many inaccuracies on that one but the seller is asking $39k.

Yeah, tried to look at the pictures too; nothing but ads popping up. If you can't post pictures you are costing yourself possible buyers. Not that I was a buyer, but I am just saying pictures help. GLWTS

Scallyk9. What is inaccurate other than the steering wheel, repainted yellow trim and the fact I took the bumperettes off? I intentionally did not repainted the car because it still has the original pale yellow decals and I didn't want to use repops. Everything else is as it left the factory from my understanding.

This thread is pretty useless without proper pictures of the normal trouble areas.

I have been seeing more and more 'patina' 914LEs lately, its kind of a new paradigm for these cars. Many of the cars on the 914 LE Registry are either project cars, some are drivers, and a very few are pristine concours quality cars. I think its great that this owner has elected to keep the car original in spite of its condition imperfections - keeps it honest and exudes a certain grittiness that is appealing.

It appears to have its original front spoiler intact which is very seldom seen. 914 buyers today are typically well informed about the conditions susceptible to problems and will need to know more about whether they exist on this car. Here is a CS with what I am talking about. What do you think? GLWTS
