 Need some input - going to look at my first 914, just spotted what looks like a bargain |

@Ken, no not necessarily fixated on 2.0, but would prefer. Also, I do recognize that there are a lot more 1.7 and 1.8 cars in the 2-5k range I'm seeking. That said, this car had the advantage of being local, so I could inspect it firsthand and there would be no shipping.

You need to think of a more wider range. My car came from AZ and I just happened to get the PO to drive it here. If you can find one a few states over then your golden. I'm sure there is one on the 914world that has something close. Just keep looking but you may want to try The Samba as well. Nice site for finding good parts and good fixer uppers.

QUOTE(carr914 @ Apr 4 2012, 07:23 PM)  Sorry, another will come along. But when a screaming Deal comes around, you need to act fast Yep....good deals move quickly. There are people scanning CL every day looking for deals. A few years ago I learned the hard way to never post a link to an ad on a car you are interested in. There a plenty of unethical people who will snake a car out from under you. If you hang out on 914World you will build a cadre of trusted advisors who will help you find and evaluate a car. It may take a little while; but, you will learn who you can trust and who you can't. So, keep looking. And, if you find one where the price is low enough, make a move and buy it. Even if the car is not the one you decide to keep you can always sell it and move to the next one. |

If by chance you are looking for a Project car or a Parts Car, there is a 914 in Kansas City for $200

TC, I kinda like the idea of a project, but that one is a bit beyond what I'd like to tackle.
