Hey Seattle area 914 folks,
I'm wondering if anyone is available to look over a 914 in West Seattle on Saturday with me. I am interested in joining your cult (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) but need a vehicle to blend in with the masses. Seriously, I have always wanted one and want to take the plunge but don't want to make a poor financial decision on a rust bucket (see my other post about rust...FYI I'm looking at a different car though) If you are interested in helping out a newbie get his first 914, I'd appreciate another set of eyes. PM me or email me if you can help out. Edwin |

Nope on the black one. It was a red one that wasn't listed very long located in West Seattle. I did look at that one in Tacoma and practically every one listed in Southern California and Las Vegas where I have family. But I don't have the $ to trailer that far so I'm trying to stick to WA or Idaho.
Hopefully someone with some knowledge will help me out. I have read some other posts on where to look for rust but am hoping someone can help me in person. Either way, I've convinced my wife that my dream of a 914 ownership should be realized. I only took the threat of buying another motorcycle, or getting a pit bull puppy, to convince her that the 914 was the best option. I still might get the puppy though...probably after months after I have a 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) And the yellow one you linked has a lot of rust which I'm not comfortable dealing with now, thanks to the advice of other 914 members. He is showing it at Noon on Saturday if anyone local wants to look at the yellow one. |

My advice is contact Steve at Auto Services West. He's a Porsche guy in WS and could do a PPI and put it on his lift. http://www.aswest.net |
