curious...after my deployment in Iraq my unit will be staying in Germany permanently....so that means I will be there for about a year and change...thinking of buying a teener over there...whats the market like for them down there....if it sucks will just buy a bimmer to blow up...Also...one cool thing is that I can have the teener shipped back to cali when I get out of the army...

Heej,

I'm almost from Germany (the Netherlands actually, like Jeroen)
and I can tell you that 914's are in short supply here.
80% of all 914's were exported to the USA, so that leaves only 20% in europe....
Given the lousy climate overhere... you do the math (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
for example:
In our country (population 16 million) there are approx 100 driveable 914's and a total of 250 but those are only estimations.
Don't really know the figures for Germany but I recall something of 1500 914's on the road... but please don't pin me down on that.....
In Germany you are close to where the 914 was born, but that doesn't mean parts or service is cheap. (For me it was cheaper to have parts shipped from the States than to buy them from a Germany parts supplier (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) )

Hope this info didn't disappointed you to much..
