On the way to Home Depot last night, 1/2 mile from my house,
waiting to turn left on Rt309 outside of Allentown, I heard a loud screech behind me, looked in the rear view mirror in time to see headlights disappear behind my car - then BANG. The 1990 Mazda faired much better than the 914. From what I can see without looking underneath the car or opening the trunk (which won't open): Trunk lid folded Rear bumper crumpled Pass Taillight gone Rear Valence creased Fender pushed into rear tire, car moves under its own power but not far Engine seems to have a miss now One cylinder is very loud (header or head damaged?) Pass and Driver door gaps now different - Pass door gap almost nothing at the top, seems larger at the bottom - Driver door gap even top to bottom but seems larger now |

Just got the Feb.issue of Keith Martins Sports Car Market mag. and they list the 914-4 2.0 as a collectible car with a value of $6000 to $9000 and a B investment grade which is quite good.
Good Luck with those insurance people |
