At least, I'm pretty sure it is.
My car won't pass smog. It appears to have a blown head gasket. Not to mention it still needs a shitload of engine work that I really don't feel like paying for or dealing with. I have not made a final decision, but I've already started looking for a bug. I'm about 98% sure that cutting my losses and getting out now is the right thing to do. I can't afford to keep fixing the 914. As much as I love driving it, it's killing me to try to keep it on the road. *sigh* I so wanted this car to be a good thing. |

It pretty much has to be a '76, as no earlier 914 has to be smogged in California.
Bugs may or may not be more reliable, but engine rebuilds are lots cheaper. From what I've seen, however, a decent Bug costs more than a 914 in the same condition. And don't even think about getting a Ghia for much less than 2x what a similar condition 914 would run. |
