I am considering getting into the 914 thing. I currently am rebuilding a 1989 Jeep Cherokee significant rust etc. etc. etc. My question is how much more difficult is it to maintain a 914? I am ok mechanially and was wondering if I could maintain a 914, I would love to learn about it and you guys seem to have a lot of information to dispose. Thanks in advance.

Get rid of that Jeep as soon as you are done fixing it and buy a 914. That thing is getting close to 20 years old and will give you nothing but grief. The 914 may give you some grief but it sure is a hellava lot more fun to drive.
Everybody talks about cost to maintain, well here is my experience so far - I bought my car for $700 not running couple hundred and I got it running. Engine was tired though. $500 got me a 2.0 and sideshift trans. New rings and other little things for the 2.0 and some new tires and I have about $2000 into the car and it is sooo much fun. |
