Hi Guys!
So I have just "discovered" the coolness that is a 914 and have an opportunity to buy a 75 with 75,000 miles on it. Supposedly a 1 owner car that hasn't been driven in a "number of years". I haven't gone to look at it yet, but they are telling me that it needs "electrical work" for it to be driveable. A couple of questions: 1. Are there common electrical gremlins that might work they are saying? 2. What should I be paying extra attention to when I go out and look at it? 3. What do you think a fair price that I should offer for it? Below are some pictures of the car, can't wait to go see it in person! Thanks for Looking! Mario     |

Mario,
Caution, when they tell you minor electrical, etc. They probably know more than what they tell you . This is an opportunity to deal on price.. In my opinion figure anywhere from $1K to $5K in repairs to get it street drive-able . It looks like a great 914 obsession (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) Welcome, Tom |
