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.


Cheers,
Tumalo

No Andy, you take a cashiers check. Be careful with personal checks. don't ask how I know.
