A good friend of mine is interested in buying a 914 in LA near Beverly Hills.
https://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/cto/d...7869791661.html Unfortunately, the Ad doesn't show the underside of the car and the owner is in his '70s and not able to crawl under the car. It looks nice from the images and is supposedly a original 30k miles car with one recent respray. It would be awesome to get some extra eyes on it and confirm some of the details and get a good look at the underside. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

The seller is a collector unloading several high end cars (Ferrari's, Porsche's etc.), so it's not completely out of the question that this might be a low mileage car, but i also have my doubts.
