SO , after looking at every possible 914 in my area , driving a few , running away as fast as i could from a few other's . I though Is a 944 , or 944 turbo a competitive car
Price / performance / fun / or otherwise , And mainly , is it more , same , less . Expensive as a 914 , And I know it's stupid but More / less / Same as practical a car.? Having never driven a 944 , I'm puzzled buy it . and they seem to be easy enough to pick up for not that much money ? 2-16 k And I know a 914 is 40yrs old approx what are common problem's with the slightly older : 20-30 yr old , 944 . Any helpful info would be greatly appreciated . Like the car's with pic's attached n info , what's a better buy , Just for example I used a 5k 944 an a 3k 914 but you can find 3k 944's and 5k 914's as i'm sure your aware of .

944's are a pain to work on(always), as the 914 is a joy to work on(most of the time).
