Would anyone in their right mind buy something like this?
I think no. So why does a dealer like this consistently and relentlessly post for sale ads like this. Obviously someone must be buying these kinds of cars. But who? That's my question. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1973-Porsche-914-/...CU3&vxp=mtr |

Yeah, the Beverly Hills guys are pretty infamous. Google up the 912 they had for sale a little while back. There was almost enough metal that you could see it had once been a 911 or 912, but not only was it nothing but rust, but it had been hit hard and bent badly and at least a third of it was missing.
The 914 is positively pristine by comparison. Heck, most of it is there! Sort of. I'm amused by the Six ad stating "Don't ask me what the VIN is, I'm only telling someone if they buy it." The seller knows how that is going to be "restored"--with a VIN swap. --DD |
