So now I've got a problem,

-My car is just about perfect for what i want right now, it's driving great, and most of the work I entended to do on it is done.

Today a friend of mine who has an 83 sc coupe offered to sell it for 10K or maybe a bit less.. I know the car, it's solid, no rust, maintenance is up to date, engine is strong, and doesn't "need any immediate work" what to do...there's no way I could keep both, but I could sell the 914, and use that $ and a bit more to buy this car...I've always wanted a 911, but I haven't even thought about selling the teener, and wouldn't even be considering it if this hadnt come along....

what to do.....help!

It's a tough call, first I'd need to sell the 914 and make some decent $ in the process. Even if I could afford to own both, I wouldn't because I drive the 914 whenever it's nice out, so one car would end up sitting all the time.

-I seriously doubt that owning an sc would be much if any more than a 914, the engines are bullet proof, the clutch on this car is new, and the cis injection has a great reputation.

-sure if I blew an engine that'd be big$$, but so would the 914, and while I do alot of work on it, I would not be re building any engines, that kind of work is over my head.. all in all, the biggest thing maintenance wise is that parts for 911's are much easier to get.

-the bottom line though is, I love driving the 914, we all know how much fun they are, I previously had an 87 928s4 5 spd, 951, and a 968, no question, the 914 is the most fun to own and drive.
