Absolutely worthless! You should just sell it to me for scrap. I will give you $500 for you to ship it to me! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Situations like this happen, I have done something similar myself.
I say if you got it for a good deal and make some cash from selling it that is fine.

As long as you're not blatantly dishonest (lying), Selling it for a price agreeable to you perfectly acceptable. If that's a profit, so be it.

I've never understood opinions to the contrary.

OT, but please lower the front of that thing. It looks like a bulldozer with the blade up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

i think we all agree, thats much to nice to take off the road. fix it where needed and make a honest profit. it keeps one more on the road, it not only helps you and the new buyer, it helps all the 914 owners car values

Yellow is of course the slowest color in the 914 lineup. :-))

I will probably get some crap, but here goes.
I would suggest that you do nothing to it and sell it as it sits for a profit. Done.
If you put a 2.0 liter motor in it...well thats a 1000 dollar used motor or up to a 5k rebuilt motor.
Then there is your time invested.

Now you can sell the car for the following.
Sell car now or after the work

Now---pickup car---sell for 1000 dollar profit
OR
add motor, add time, etc ----sell for 1000 dollar profit.

Both scenarios need to be thought through.
If you can make the same profit and save your time and a motor....the math is clear to me from a business point of view.

Remember, you bought it...someone else may also buy it...just like it sits.

I think it's complete BS that there are a few people who expect/demand that you give the same deal you get. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif)

It's your car now. Do whatever you want with it. What you paid for it is irrelevant.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) completely. I see some pretty funky demands and rants in the classifieds around here.
