Gonna sell my 914, After so long, so many fun rides... Options

[Brando]

And after so many fun adventures: The Little Blue Beater is gonna have to go to a new home.

Frankly, I don't have the time or resources to focus on this project anymore.

Although, it does work great as a reliable daily driver. Original 1.8, SSIs, 22mm front sway, stock rear with adjustable droplinks, turbo tie rods, new steering rack, fresh poly rear bushings...

AND

rebuilt, 0-mile 2056. 9.3:1 compression. I also have an MSDS header, new in box (unopened!). Pair of rear trailing arms, waiting for a cleaning and new bearings. Comes with a pair of 5-lug hubs that have been drilled and studded by T H O M A S.

Painted front and rear bumper. Plenty of extra bits and goodies.

I hate to see a car that I took TTOC with so many times go, but I really want to get another Porsche that won't require quite nearly as much work... That I won't have to focus on paint and body to make the looks comparable to the fun factor. I'm contemplating another 944 or maybe a 928... I hear those have 4 seats (for the friends). Expect the car in the classifieds soon. The extra parts going with the car should be worth plenty as well.

If you have any suggestions, ideas or thoughts I'm open to all of them.

Thanks!

You may find yourself in the same boat with the 944 or 928 for reasons Rich mentioned. Also, consider that the parts for a 928 tend to be freakishly over priced. To meet your needs, minus the 4 seats, a boxter would be the best bet. For 4 seats, get a cayenne......or a hon-duh

For bar none bargain boxsters are it. There is a gorgeous 02 boxster S on craigslist here for 15K! 97-98 cars are around 10K frequently with low miles.

I have thought many times that a boxster with a 380 hp 3.6 (that new x something or other 3.6 they are using in the 997's) swapped in whould be freakin sweat.

10-15k sounds like a lot but it does not take long to get to 10 with a 914. It would lack all of the character of an early car and I suspect would lack all of the raw feedback that all of the early porsches have...

I also agree with an another post that it would make sense to hold on to the 914 if you can. They make for good investments at this point. The boxster will continue to depreciate and the 914's will continue to go up in value so they could cancel each other out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
