Hello all. I need some expert advice. I am a longtime Porsche enthusiast and I have always loved the 914 but I've never owned one. I have a 944 turbo that I drive a little and use on the track. I want to buy a 914 now to use mostly as a driver with maybe a weekend every now and then on the track. I am looking at a local car that is a '71 1.7. It has downdraft webbers, runs well, and shifts ok. Some problems are: gauges don't work (except tach), door handles don't work from inside, passenger seat is shot, and the interior in general isn't beautiful. The good news is that there appears to be no rust anywhere and the car was repainted (yellow) in '02. They are asking $6500, which I thought was way high. I offered $3500 and they did not take it. What is the approximate value of a car like this? Thanks.

Well that car is gone anyway. I shall now continue to look. I'm in no hurry as I have a 944 turbo to amuse myself with. I've always wanted a 914 though and I think the time has come to pick one up. I would like to find a driver that I could use to go back and forth to work. I know there were alot of improvements to the later cars but I really like the look of the earlier cars better. I'm going to take my time but if the right car comes along at the right price I will jump all over it. Like I said, I made a fair offer on that one but it wasn't meant to be. Thanks for all the replies.
