This will be my first 914. Please, if anyone knows of any good ones that dont cost more than $7K let me know. Im looking for a 2.0 engine and am more concerned about how it runs than how it looks. I can fix the exterior, but really want one ready to drive now and fix it as it breaks as opposed to having to fix it before I can drive it. If anyone has any suggestions or offers, please let me know and email me at joshbsilvey@yahoo.com
Thx for the help, cant wait til I get one

Thx for the advice. Depending on where I find one, I may have to have it shipped to me. I was thinking that before I pay for a 914, I would pay for it to be inspected thoroughly at a local Porsche dealer. Sound like a good idea or will they just charge me a ton of money to look and say, "yep, no oil leak here?"
Keep that advice coming!!! And if anyone has one to sell, let me know!!
thx,
josh

Probably the latter. Although I wasn't charged a ton of money, mostly they gave me compression and leak down #s on the engine and pointed out obvious things like: needs new wiper blades. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
My guess is most shops aren't going to take the time to really see if there are any not-so-obvious rust issues. It's easy to point out visible rust in the trunk or bubbling paint, but the real possible trouble spots take a little bit more time to thuroughly check.
