Okay so I see an add for a 73 2.0 car. Basicaly a parts car as it is missing the doors. It's all primered & of course no rust. Supposedly runs but been parked a while. I've wanted to get another 73 2.0 to restore as it was my first 914. Anyway the guy wants a $1000 for it. He was going to try to get me some pics tommorow. After thinking about it I say I'll just come tommorow with $1000 in cash. Felt pretty comfortable after talking to him. He does say the fuchs are 5-lug. Of course I had to explain what fuchs are to him. Anyway I think to myself I guess they did a 5-lug swap on it. He tels me okay it's yours for the $1000. See you in the morning.
I get my trailer all loaded & decide to head a little south tonight. I catch a move with my brother & am going to crash at his place (that was the plan anyway). Buthead calls me back a little pissed. He says how much are the wheels worth. I know I can get more if I part it out. He goes on to tell me he just checked ebay & the fuchs are worth $2000 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) . He then goes on to list what each part is worth (so he thinks). Engine $700 (okay so that is worth that) Transmission $700 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Tailights $150 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) No center console, Dash is cracked, seats are toast, no windshield. No rust which is definately a plus. I tell him the $1000 is a fair price especially since I am driving 4+ hours to come get it. Somehow he seems to think I am trying to screw him. Especially on the wheels. I tell him there is no way they are worth $2000. I am estimating they are 15x6 fuchs. I say he'd be lucky to get $600 for them. That would be in very good shape. Anyway I am little pissed at the prick. Just weird as his wife was the one to call me back after my movie. She says I sent him to bed because he had been drinking. Weirdest flippin night I've had in quite a while. Not even sure the deal is dead. Pretty positive I don't want to deal with the prick though. Like I need another 914 anyway (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) Rant over now |
