Hey guys,
I'm new here, but I've been checking this site pretty much everyday for about six months now, so I decided I might as well introduce myself. My name is Corey, and I'm a 20 yr old POOR college student. I've been searching frantically for the perfect 1973 2.0 (of course) for quite awhile now and was wondering how long it took everyone to find their very own special teener. And also, where do you guys look?! I use Ebay, collectorcartrader, google, and the classified section on this site. I bought the last few local autotraders, but to no avail. I'm in Orange County, by the way. Anywho, nice to finally find a forum where people don't talk about ricerz they "PWND" in a sweet drag race d00d (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) Thanks, Corey |

welcome. how long did it take? only about 3 months for me, we in the bay area are blessed with an abundance of 914s...
a few words of advice, take'em or leave'em: -don't get hung up on a 73 or 74. the early ones are a bit lighter, the later ones a bit heavier, but they're all *about* the same. the late cars can be made lighter, and they'll all take a 2 liter (or a /6, or an /8, or whatever you can dream up) -do get hung up on rust. i'd rather have a rust-free '76 with a tired 1.7 in it than a 73 with a rusted long.... -save your money, borrow some from your dad, sell yourself on the street -- whatever it takes -- buy the best one you can afford. paying an extra 2k upfront can save you about 5k in the first few years. -the longer you own them, the more expensive they become. make sure that you're set up financially and mechanically to take care of your car, or else it can be a stressor. -get a ppi cheers, good luck! n |
