Purchase Decision Help Please..., Have to make a decision on 3 914s Options

[CptTripps]

Gang,

I'm looking for advise. (If this is the wrong place, please move it!)

I'm going to be buying a 'teener' this week, and have a few to pick from. I'm not looking to buy junk, but at the same time, I only have limited funds available. Here are the cars I've narrowed it down to.

Car #1 - Yellow 1973 2.0 - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...4516851747&rd=1

Car #2 - Orange 1973 2.0 - http://autoatlanta.com/carsales/914/473292...4732922616.html

Car #3 - Yellow 1975 2.0 - http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act...ST&f=20&t=22457

I like #1 because he's done a lot to it. I've also got about 40 additional pics of it that he's sent. I'm thinking this would be the least expensive of the three. (I'm guessing I could get it for less than $4,000)

Car #2 is from Automobile Atlanta and they have a great reputation. (From what I understand.) It needs painted, but from what the guys there tell me, it's a solid car, and that's ALL it needs. This one however, is the most expensive of the three. But I'm thinking that $5,000 spent here would be well worth it for a rust-free and solid 73. Am I right??

Car #3 is a little different. It's not the cheapest, or most expensive, not the best shape, or the worst. It's a 75 2.0 that has a solid body, the original FI. I talked to the owner for a while and don't have any 'feelings' that I'm going to be disappointed if I buy it.

I'm in Cleveland Ohio and it's snowing like hell here now. I really can't fly somewhere, and drive it home, so I'm going to have to buy one of these without seeing it, then have it shipped here.

Help! =) (There are worse things to need help with!)

Thanks!
