So I’ve (with a heavy heart) decided to try and sell my 914.

All the details and 110 photos are in the Elferspot listing.

$74,950 US.

39k miles. One former owner. Mint. Totally original. Unmarked throughout.

A lot of money - I grant you. But it’s right up there with the best available.

If it does not sell - I’ll be very happy to keep it.

I’ve spend many many days and weeks detailing it and getting it 100% spot on.

Wish me luck. It’s the white 2.0.

I think the reception to this clearly special car would be better if the seller stopped talking about his heavy heart and how much he cherished it (since April) and simply said...look, I got a great deal on an amazing 914 and I'd like to flip it to a serious collector. Here's what I'm thinking...

I think what makes some people uncomfortable is how much he leaned on this community to help him get his car to this condition. I went back and read all of his threads, and there was some serious time and thought put into trying to help out what people assumed was a fellow enthusiast. For some that feels like a betrayal as the general focus of 914World is to help each other get our cars sorted out and on the road for us to enjoy, not necessarily to try and flip them for a quick profit. If it had been stated up front that the intent was to try and flip the car for profit I don't think this would rankle so much. I'm not against buying, fixing, and selling cars, but for some reason this one does not pass the smell test....I just can't easily put my finger on why that is.
