Hello, I'm 20 years old and I live in Ellensburg, Washington and I have recently come across a 1975, 1800cc 914 for sale and I had a few questions for the 914 pros on this site.

1. Would one of these cars be manageable for a 20 year college student?

2. What are some common problems with the 914's?

3. Before buying the car, what questions should I ask the owner?

4. If I buy the 914 and I have problems with it how easy is it to find mechanics who work on them?

I have been a Porsche fan since I was 10 years old. When I was 1 my mom traded in a black 924 Turbo (because it could not fit a child seat in the back) for a '91 VW Cabriolet. She passed on the love of Porsche's on to me and it would be a dream come true to have a Porsche while in college. I will include the link to the 914, thank you very much for trying to help me acquire my first Porsche.
