I came across an add on Facebook marketplace for a 1971 Porsche 914 for $5000. I’ve never owned a Porsche but have owned 3 VW buses from the 70s in the past which have similar engines and have always wanted a 914. The owner claims the car runs and drives but “needs a tune up” because he hasn’t seriously ran it since it was put under a tarp outside years ago. It’s yellow and the paint is faded but doesn’t appear too bad. I haven’t seen pictures of the interior yet. It has a set of strange rims I can’t identify. I’m seriously considering buying it but I’m not sure if it’s a good deal. It would be a 6 hour drive to get the car so what questions should I ask the seller before I commit? I’ll attempt to attach a photo of the car in question. Let me know if you can’t see the photo.
Thank you all so much for help! |

I'm surprised I got so many answers so quickly! I have never repaired rust on a vehicle before so that part worries me. The seller only posted one photo but I didn't want to waste his time asking for more if I wasn't serious. I don't have a garage to work on the car which is a big problem. I've just never seen a 914 for sale at that low a price before but it sounds to me like it worth what he's asking. To gather the money I'd have to sell my 76 VW bus. The car is in the Bismark ND area if any of you are interested. Your answers have been helpful if there's anything someone hasn't mentioned yet please add to the thread!
