First off, grertings everyone, Im Erik, 20, college student in Reno, Nevada.
I love 914's and unfortunatly do not own one, yet at least. I got a chance to ride on one a couple years back and fell in love instantly and have wanted to purchase one ever since.
First off, how practical would it be for someone like myself (college student) to purchase a 914?
How much can i expect to pay for a decent condition car?
How hard are they to work on?
What else should i know besides to look for rust and the like?

Thanks a bunch, and i love this site
Erik

He's a college student so atleast he has some brains!

Hey, some college students have brains but dont use them (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bootyshake.gif)


Erik,

Welcome to the club. I'm a 914er and college student. Its doable. If I could do it again, I would have found a nice driver (maybe a 3k car), driven it, and built another one from the ground up. Now I'm 2 years into the project, lots of time and money I dont have invested, and Ive still never driven a 914 very hard. Do you live in the dorms? If your parents house is close, you can always park it in their driveway and work on it there. I use the "its almost done" excuse every weekend. It works pretty well.
