Hey everyone,

I'm looking to purchase this 914, I'm going to see it on Saturday. It's currently being listed on ebay. First Question, is there anyone in the Charlotte, NC are are willing to come with me to see this 914? Also, what should I be looking at on this 914? He mentioned a 4inch diameter hole under the passenger seat that has rusted completely through but has been "repaired" I need advice on what are some things I should look at on Saturday. Also, what are some of your guys opinion of a fair price for this one?


Here is the link to the car:

It's a nice looking car, and it can be hard to find a good one at that price on the east coast. Painted calipers and whatnot tell me that someone took care of it. The photos are a bit old though.

Bring a set of tools with you, and take off the passenger side rocker panel (the black piece along the bottom). That and under the battery will normally be the worse place on these cars.
