So I've been on the hunt for about a month now and found this locally. It has alot of receipts and came from the southeast. The body has no rust and the 2.0 fi engine runs well. I havent been able to find out if it's ever been rebuilt know it needs some attention to the suspension, possible tie rods, the right rear caliper rebuilt, and the roof leaks. They are pretty firm at $5500. Any advise you might have would be very helpfull. thank you

Even if it has some rust that needs attending (and it does, even if the owner *really* does not know it - it is a 914) I thnk that $5500 is a fair price for a well running car outside Cali.

if the pass side jack posts are solid and the firewall just ahead of the batter is not too trashed that is a fair price.

Just, don't be surprised when you discover rust in the floors or firewall later on. You will not really be able to tell until you start probing with a pick or screwdriver.

As long as it will pass the big butt test chances are that the car is in good shape.
