hello all
i'm looking to replace my urs4 with something more fun to drive and more economical...
i've always liked the 914 and now seems like my opportunity to own something that'll be fun in the sun...

my driving experience other than the urs4 includes a mk2 mr2, so i'm really looking forward to something that'll take the corners hard!!

here's the question... with a budget of around 5K, is it possible to get a good conditioned 914? after seeing the thread on $50 paint jobs, i can deal with a 914 that needs paint and missing stereo (i would have swapped out the stock unit anyways) if so... please point me to the right direction... i value the members opinion in that if y'all know of a 914 in good condition, let me know!!

further, are there 914 restoration specialists in southern california who charge a reasonable rate??

last question.... have any of y'all changed the speedometer to something that'll accomdate modern highway driving speeds??

thanks!!

thanks!!
yeah, PA is a little far to get a 914.... unless someone knows of a cheap and GOOD auto shipper

a urs4 is a 92-94 audi s4, 5 cyl single turbo... i have a 93
mk2 is a 2nd generation mr2... i had a n/a 91 that was slightly modded

it's good to know that 5k is a good price to start with...
now i'll be on the look out!!

what i also love about this forum is that whenever there is a car for sale... someone on this board seems to have some knowlege of it so i can get a pretty honest opinion of the condition =)

so... all the CA folks out there help me out!!

thanks
