Classic Homer Simpson whine: "Why do things that happen to stupid people keep happening me?"

Some are professional ranters. Some are professional whiners. So, what's the difference between and rant and a whine?

A rant is when you do it
A whine is when someone else does it

Perfect answer.

With that yellow one in LA you even get a free Nutribullet with it !

If the shoe were on the other foot, i.e. you bought a real bargain and flipped it for a nice profit, would you be ranting or bragging? Everybody wants capitalism and a free market as a seller but not as a buyer...

Anyway, for $2,500 you should expect a 914 with major issues such as the extensive rust. Agree with others, celebrate the fact the you didn't buy this car, especially for $3,500 rather than $2,500.

BTW, I found both of my 914s through Cars and Coffee, Katie's in Great Falls, VA actually. Both by word of mouth. If you don't already, attend such gatherings, get to know the regular attendees, be patient, and you might be surprised what good deals can come along from these contacts.

I think i found something for you...although it is missing a wheel and the targa

Oh wait, it does not run now...dammit!

Don't you mean he ran when he parked it?

So somebody did BIN for the full $7800 wonder if the guy will get paid after the buyer sees it in person.

Relisted.

Ain't this some
"The story of this car is as follows:

I purchased it due to my never ending obsession of Porsches (currently have a Carrera Targa SC, 944 Turbo, Cayenne) and other VW Auto Group brands (also own an RS6, S8, Jetta) --- have owned many many others. I pursued this car as it had very very minimal rust and if you're looking at this car you know that is VERY RARE. Most importantly --- the car has original pans, etc. which is again a rare occurrence considering most other 914's you see for sale have been chop-shopped. Upon purchasing it, driving it home for 2 hours and parking it in my garage (previous owner kept it indoors as well) I came to realize that I have way too many projects going on and I really need to finish my SC build prior to starting an another one. With that said --- I have decided to sell this 914 and will also be listing my 1987.5 944 turbo as well in the near future as I need space and could also use the funds to finally finish my 911."

Ha, ha! That guy's a loser!

Jeez, what a load of . Nice story. How poetic.

And as far as the OP goes, as many wise ones have stated in this thread, be very glad you didn't spend your money. Take a deep breath, wipe your brow with the back of your hand, say WHEW!, and keep looking. It'll happen.
