Hello all....I am a newby to this forum (1st post). I own a 1973 convertible Karmann Ghia already and I have a really good shop I use close by when I need one. I also have an opportunity to purchase a 1974 Porsche 914 from someone I know very well. The car has been in storage for quite some time and is in really good shape. My problem is my VW garage will not touch a Porsche 914. Does anyone have any recommendations on a good shop for these cars in the Dallas/Ft Worth area??? I do not want to buy the car if I do not have a good shop to take it to. I have dealt with some sorry shops before and that really sucks. I simply do not have the time or tools to do it all myself. Thanks for your help and advice!!

It really depends on the car and the rust, engine condition, paint ect. Kind of hard to just throw out a number. Ask the seller what they want for it to see if if sounds reasonable. If it were mint and runining could easily be $10K +, but if it has not run, and will require some work to get it going, as well as new seals, and rust repair...ect, $1500 may be too much to spend.
Get a good prepurchase, and post some pictures to get a little better imput on price (if you can). And welcome. |
