Hi all,
New to the board and not yet an owner. Looking to get a "toy" and have always loved the 914. Was hoping there would be some advice as to what to look out for when inspecting a candidate. Do you have any particulars you would recommend get close attention or types of questions one should ask? Thanks in advance and I hope I can post one day with a new ride.

Yeah, where in Seattle? There are a few Seattlites on the BBS who can help you out.
To meet a whole bunch of 914 guys come on out to the Bremerton AX on June 21st. I think Dave Ellison might have a good car for sale too. Have to call and see. Rust is the biggest issue with these cars. Due to a poor design the battery gets wet and drips acid all over one of the main suspension supports. You must look out for this problem as it is exspensive to fix. (Check out Jeroen's site, ouch!) Take your time looking for a excellent example and pay the money upfront. These cars can cost alot to fix depending on what is wrong with them. Handling is awesome, straight ahead speed in a 2.0L 4 is ok. With a 911 six they come alive scaring people with there quickness.
