Bought a 914 on ebay years ago..when I went to pick it up the seller, Mike, got the car on stands and let me look underneath, also showed me a full box of new and used parts which could be good or bad but usually good. He also said I can back out of the deal, no problem. I suppose he was hoping a higher bid would roll in if he could only re-list? Or he could tell his wife, buyer backed out & he had to keep it etc.? All in all it seemed like a no risk transaction considering the decently 'no risk' low price.. On the drive home I had a 'mechanical' Was just bad luck, I think, nothing nefarious: a jug sucked (or blew? one of the old paper gaskets. So I started ownership with a parts-search and a repair bill. That said, I wish I had that car today, all 79 Hp of it was a hoot, but ya can't kiss all the pretty girls.
