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. |

QUOTE(Queenie @ Mar 29 2004, 05:43 PM) If I could find a way to get the engine into good shape for a price that I could afford, I'd probably keep it even though it makes more sense to get something that uses cheaper parts - just like you said, the cost of maintenance is much, much less for a bug engine. ok, then let's start there ... what can you afford? realisticly? exactly where in SoCal are you? how far to the bay area? cheer up, i'm sure we can work something out! that's what you have us (the club) for ...
