Hi guys me again the seller. What pissed me off is that people are making comments about a car that they didnt see. And that they cant read either ALL the ionfos on that car that i gave the seller. And that between the line you are judged as someone who wants to screw a newbie???? Maybe it is that its not the right 914 for him, and that id agree.
This thread was started in my back. Imagine my surprise when a friend of mine mentionned to me that people were jerking off my back, without taking informations first. The problem is that i tried to be honest with the car. Its not pristine, But its no crap either. Your comments --vs--> what i said about Comments: 2.7 stud-pulling overheated What i wrote: many times i mentionned that the engine was rebuilded, receipts to prove it and that the 7R case was case-saved, with new studs. Comments: There are way too many nice cars out there for sale other than this overpriced pile of parts What i wrote: that pile of parts worths much more than 6K isnt it? Maybe in the US there are such examples. But i imported many cars in Canada and you have to add 15% (1K US$) only to import it. Does it worth it? Dont forget Canada market is way different that in the US where 914s abound. Comments: You probably have a good deal going... but your attitude sucks. Get off your high horse... you're SELLING your 914. Don't attack others who are currently enjoying theirs. Good luck selling your pile of parts. You can use the money to buy a Mustang or Vette, which you obviously should be driving. What i wrote: That one kills me.... My attitude sucks. What if id say that your car is crap, that its way overpriced, that people should run from it???? And that i didnt even know the car? Do you judge by my web site where i described how i did it? Anyhow, ive learned a few things. First is that i made a mistake trying to sell a non-finished project. Ill finish it and keep you posted. Thanks to all, i do think that this fuss is all about misleading infos and/or comments. I am not angry nor mad at anyone. Maybe a bit frustrated. If i offended Bleyseng or Mark Henry, please take these words as personal apologies. If i emailed privatly, i didnt wanted to reply to the forum for personal comments. Best to all. |
