Hi folks,
I'm going to look at my first potential 914 purchase this coming weekend and I'd like to be well prepared. Can you direct me to a list of good online 914 FAQs, Buyer's Guides, etc. to help arm oneself? Thanks. Karl. PS - This is the car I'm going to see - http://www.westcoastautosport.com/docs/car...car-in00134.htm PPS - Just as an FYI, I've compiled a list of resources for 944 owners at http://www.weissach.net/924-944-968_WhereT...nformation.html |

Just look at the top of the page at the 914info tab.
Looks like a decent car for $5000, always look for rust esp under the battery tray ie the Hell Hole! Geoff |

If it looks as good in person, snag it. Hopefully one of the NorCal gurus will jump in here and go with you to take a look for the usual suspect areas.
Hope you get it, but if not, hang around anyway. We are equal opportunity offenders here (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

There are a couple of articles on the Bird site that can also help.
The Pelican Parts 914 buyer's guide: http://www.pelicanparts.com/914/How_to_buy_a_914.htm The 914 FAQ (now somewhat dated, but still lots of pretty good info if I do say so myself): http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/9...Darling_FAQ.htm (Shaddap, Rusty--I will get around to updating that thing, I really will! ...Sometime...) --DD |

I have been looking myself. I made a excel spreadsheet that helps me review the car when I see it in person.
I gathered the info from 914 club, Pelican parts and a few other sources. It has saved me from spending money on a PPI (pre purchase inspection) for a car I would not be interested in. It helps me, I am a rookie but it should help. Send me a PM with your email and I will send it to you. Patience and being fast on the good cars, seems to be what works. |

Should be in your inbox Karl.
Good luck and post your car when you get it. |
