I had posted some pics of the white '75 1.8 that I was going to buy in addition to the green '73 that I bought. The white '75 is on The Samba. TOTAL SCAM!!! BEWARE. This guy will not give out phone number or address. Just wants funds wired to his account and says he will ship the car. Bull crap!! I've turned him in. I absolutely HATE people like this. Nothing but a scum bag. I think he should be tied to the back of a 914 and have to run real fast for a while. Nice looking car. Don't know where he dug up the pictures but it's all fake. Be careful out there!

Glad you weren’t hurt.
Same scam in the 911 world and people have sent 10’s of thousands for just a pic on the net.

I say buyer beware and proceed as if you do not know the seller (unless you really do know them). With the internet it is very easy for people to misrepresent everything and people with nothing all of a sudden have items that are highly in demand. With members all over the country it is very easy to get someone to actually lay eyes on and inspect a car before any funds ever get transferred. To do otherwise is just risky business.

Hooray for you! You DID get the green 2.0L and didn't get scammed on the other. Win-win, for sure. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Yep...got the green '73 2.0 and I'm happy. Forget about the perfect white on that doesnt exist. I'll put more energy into making the green one better!!

No wonder he lowered the price to sucker someone in. I was feeling poorly that pristine 914's were down to $10,000. I told you not to buy it!!
