The blue car in the link is a beautiful car and has some nice extras done to it. Maybe I'm wrong and it is worth every penny they are asking for it. Do they allow offers? Try to get it a little lower if possible. The car in the other link is nice as well. Try an offer on it, all they can do is say no and throw you out the back door, lol. Go look at a car near you so have some idea of what to look for in the way of bad stuff like rust. Rust is bad no matter where it is located, it always means there is more. Look past the nice interiors and beautiful paint jobs, while those are nice, there are bigger issues that can cost big dollars down the road. Or test drive a nice Subbie in same price range, it might suit you, they are snappy little cars.
I think the title/VIN situation on the silver BAT car is unfortunate, but fixable. It would be better if the seller took care of that before they put it up for sale. BAT should monitor those things closer IMO. That said, it is still a nice car and currently a great buy. I would not pay over $20K USD myself unless the seller fixes the situation, but if not the buyer can order a new VIN plate for the window and hopefully fix the title, especially if there is a prior title, sales receipt or similar document showing the correct VIN. The yellow on there is also a nice car, but some newby on there tried to call Dr. 914 and I out about that car and our comments.
Good Luck and feel to reach out to me if you have questions on any other cars, I'm full of opinions and a lot of other stuff as some people say, LOL.
lol I saw that, I had my popcorn ready but you took the high road, unfortunately.
Nothing against subbies, but I just watched the "baby driver" intro and felt nothing. I was completely content with my pickup truck until I saw a 914. I think it's so beautiful, the roll cage design and body line is just bad ass yet elegant at the same time.
Would you know how a 94 2.0 914 compares to a 2012 C300? My dad has one and it's way more than I need and I don't even think it's supposed to be particularly snappy.
I'm looking for a relaxed summer Sunday driver kinda thing.
I would have already looked at the 40kCAD alaskan blue one and potentially tried a negotiation but they gave me the whole "we wanna leave it in our showroom till we have a deal speal" - my assumption was that the frame/body must be pretty good to justify everything else - which is something Id obviously wanna prove before making a deal. Just seams like a headache when I'd like something less flashy, anyways.
