My reserve was $17,000, so it just met reserve at $17,000 sale price. To be honest, I am disappointed with the price - I feel that I could have sold it privately for $19,000. At anything less than $17,000, I would have just kept it and dealt with the wrath of the wife.Einsteiger wrote: ↑Thu Sep 02, 2021 3:00 pm So do I know the KC area buyer? Hope the result got you past the break even point...not counting the mental cost of getting something ON BAT.

Come on guys I live in Vegas. If it's staying in KC who wants to bet he buys it back? 2024? I've got 5:1 on 2023. Come on boys who's game?
The big question is... how much did you have in the car? (including tax, maintanence, upgrades, etc.) Did you at least break even?FRUNKenstein wrote: ↑Thu Sep 02, 2021 3:19 pmMy reserve was $17,000, so it just met reserve at $17,000 sale price.

That being said, I am very happy it is staying in KC. The buyer is a KCRPCA member, and he said that we had met before at a club function. But he is not a breakfast regular. It is for his dad, and they came over Sunday to test drive it. Really nice people - so I am happy for them. I am glad it’s not going to a dealer just to flip it. Plus, I will still get to see it at events. I suspect it will be at the All German Car Show in October.
Nah. He still misses his 996 C4, but he passed on getting it back for about exactly what he paid for it. I don't think this 914 ever made a similar connection, so unless he can pick it back up for a stupid deal I just don't see it coming back.32wildbilly wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 12:28 pm Naw odds should be longer than that. it's the wrong color.Dr_Strangelove (whew!)

Well, you were 6 months off, Doc. Who had "June 2022" in the pool as the buyback date?Dr_Strangelove (whew!) wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 11:15 am Darn. Silver lining I suppose that it is staying "in the family."
