AA has a 914-6 Automatic for sale. He claims that only 4 were made. I know he's had this for quite some time
I am curious to your opinions of the Sportamatic transmission. I have heard that it is not necesaarily a good tranny. I fully understand that the 'fun' in driving a 914 of any flavor, as with most others 'sports cars', is manually shifting through the gears. I am not qualified to say whether AA's price on this is reasonable/unreasonable, but IMHO, I think it's kinda pricey. But then again, if there was truly only 4 made, then it would be considered ' a different collectable'. Will the Automatic be as quick as the Standard? In the 1/4 as well as top end? Is the Sportomatic serviceable, or is it a nightmare? Were there any other differences on the Automatic besides the Sporto-matic? Would anyone out there ever consider owning an Automatic? Again, I'm only curious for your feedback Thanks Allan |

I haven't gone to thier site or looked at the car/price, but at first thought I would say the car is a collector car if production numbers are truly that low for that option. Drive it just enough to keep all the fluids flowing and then park it locked up tight and safe. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Being a 30+ year old auto, I doubt it shifts anywhere close to "fun". Hence the collecting, not driving part of owning it. But that is just my opinion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
