Why is Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price listed as "unavailable". After all, THEY WERE the manufacturer. If anybody should know the MSRP, it should be Porsche. Or are they trying to dump that on Volkswagen A.G. ??

Why is Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price listed as "unavailable". After all, THEY WERE the manufacturer. If anybody should know the MSRP, it should be Porsche. Or are they trying to dump that on Volkswagen A.G. ?? Ansbacher Same reason as most 914s & other early Porsches don't have transmission numbers (mostly on 914s), is that they didn't bother to write it down on the original pen-n-paper Kardex. What's worse is when they say MSRP unavailable, when the owner provides them with a copy of the Mulroney window sticker - which actually lists the prices of options, base & total with all - I mean really! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) On my COA for the first 2 attempts, they tried to claim that my early 73 2L was first sold in late 74, & that sale was in CT all the way across the country! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Fortunately my older CA DMV Reg cards showed the 1st sale date as 11/9/72, & my VIN sticker was 8/72, & the Chassis No. translates to 8/31/72 - which I told them, but they insisted on keeping it on their 2nd try, even though I'd sent them pix of all 3 items after seeing the 1st erroneous ones & calling them to get it corrected, as well as the pic of my GA engine number before they would list it as a 914-2.0!! They corrected the 2.0 on #2 - but not the sale date nor interior color error; then the sale date got corrected on the 3rd try - but not the interior color - & they at least told me that they'd removed the erroneous `74 first sold in CT from their electronic records (I still don't know if they did so); then the COA manager refused to make any more changes on the int. color to correct it - even with the original Porsche 72, 73, 74 colors docs. with number codes in hand - so that's when I called the GM of Customer Relations to get it corrected on their 4th try - which still doesn't list the included Appearance & Performance Groups as options on the car. PCNA COA staff are just incompetent & irascible people that don't know the meaning of taking pride in & doing a good job, nor of correcting their errors! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) So why wonder that they don't bother to look up the MSRP on an older P-car - where it might actually be more important to a collector/owner!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) BTW - I think that we may have a few members on here &/or 914 owners that we know from elsewhere from that big Wolsey Fire on the news since last night up in the Agoura, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, etc. & moving towards Malibu. So thoughts & prayers for them after jumping the US 101 4-6 lane freeway this morning. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
