Hello I'm hoping someone can tell me if 6000.00 is a decent price for a 71 porche 914. I recently came across one for sale locally and immediately fell in love with the car. I have never owned a porche and know very little about them. This car seems to be rust free other than the hell hole and I saw three little paint bubbles on the passenger side door. The car is the original color but has obviously been repainted at some point and no be longer has original engine or transmission. It currently has a carburated 2.0 bus engine and short throw 5speed according to current owner. The interior is mostly original and in decent condition with only minor flaws and comes with new carpet kit. Rockers, floor pans appear to be rust free and it has been garage kept. It does run. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Have you checked out the classified section here on 914world? I'd feel much better about buying from a member who has a vested interest in not scamming you....(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

QUOTE(cuddy_k @ Sep 6 2019, 03:22 PM)  Have you checked out the classified section here on 914world? I'd feel much better about buying from a member who has a vested interest in not scamming you....(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I have been looking at the classifieds on this site, seems like the prices are all over the place , cars that I browsed on here that seem like they are in the same price range seem to be in worse shape then the one I'm looking at of course that may not be the case. The one thing that has me nervous about the car I'm looking at is it doesn't have the original drivetrain. He fired it up and it seemed to run good other than a lifter tapping which he attributed to the car sitting for a while and having hydraulic lifters. The hell hole doesn't bother me very much because I have lots of experience dealing with repairing rust because of all the other cars I have owned and my personal shop has a car lift and would be very easy for me to remove the drive train to repair the hell hole correctly. I guess I have some thinking to do. Thanks everyone for the advice. |
