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 josh |

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 |

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. |

You should also check other classifieds like Craigslist, Pelican, and 914 club. You will probably have the most luck finds a minimal rust car in the southwest. Shipping will cost $600-$1000. Now is a good time to buy as prices are low. I am in Southern CA and if you find one in the LA or San Diego area I could check it out for you. There are also many other SoCal owners who know what to look for in a 914. Bruce |
