Hi all,
New to the board and not yet an owner. Looking to get a "toy" and have always loved the 914. Was hoping there would be some advice as to what to look out for when inspecting a candidate. Do you have any particulars you would recommend get close attention or types of questions one should ask? Thanks in advance and I hope I can post one day with a new ride. Cheers, Tumalo 00 AS/MB/MB Boxster (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

The earlier posts are all on the money. Here's my two bits. Buy the best one you can afford. Yeh, I know it's not "original" advice. But this is a sport where, if you buy a fix-er-upper, you may get to discover that the investment is large.... well bigger than the potential selling price anyway. If you already are way-knowledgable (or really really willing-to-learn!) in these cars, you can scarf up a fixer and convert it to cash. But from my watching, only the Real Dudes pull this one off -- the rest of us spend money.
So the real hunt is for the one that someone else has maintained/restored. Just my opinion of course. hth. kim. |
