Never thought I'd see a 914 worth more than a 911....but that day has come.

Although initially I didn't buy my teener for appreciation value.

ive been looking for a while, just did a new search in our area 200 mile radius and there are 20 under $20k , most are cabriolets, most have the hard top with it, cheapest was $13,500 and has the IMS done, was a '99, another with only 50k miles for $15,000 very clean very nice full records from Porsche on all the maintenance records, its a2002 . These can be had for less than a 944 . If I didn't have a Boxster right now I would grab one of these in a second. Personally as searched the one that stood out was a "Targa" with that big sliding sun roof, very low miles full history etc super clean, under $17k and it has the Aero kit factory option and LSD transmission option. Keep looking there are so many of these out there but its not an unknown anymore and they have hit the bottom of their price curve, I don't think you will se them hit $10k unless they are junk or mechanical failures.

But then again, my '97 boxster I am driving right now I bought 2 years ago for under $8k, knowing I would have to do a clutch even though it only had 38k miles on it, and knew I would probably due the IMS while in there which we did, and I now have 48k miles on it , not sure why I would get rid of it I've got all brand new clutch rms and IMS(LN dual row hybrid ceramic bearing with full 100kwaranty), but I would probably consider it for that '02 C4 Targa.

good luck on the purchase and keep us posted!
