OK, I finally got a chance to see the car in person today. It is VERY nice. Needs a good detailing since its been sitting at a mechanic shop for the past 9 months or so and it's dusty and a dirty.
I did get to drive it, and honestly, the engine runs MUCH better than my personal 3.2 engine - much better power/torque and quicker acceleration. I've always thought there's something wrong with mine, and I think this confirms it...I REALLY like this engine and the power it has. Smooth, the exhaust sounds great, started right up, settled into idle, and no problems....like a proper 3.2 should. Transmission shifts smooth and easy - about as good as you can get for a 914. Steering is tight and precises, brakes work great. Everything seemed to work just fine. No rust that I could find. Paint is in excellent condition, as is the interior. There are a couple things I noted that could use some attention (I'm pretty sure the owner may not even know about or ever thought about) - Since there is a PORSCHE reflector between the tail lights, the rear trunk is activated by an electric solenoid. It doesn't seem to be working (there's an emergency pull cable under the rear trunk so I could open it). - The rear trunk carpet has a couple areas that the carpet is missing/torn. (see picture, upper right/left by the shock towers) - The front trunk pull handle needs adjusting. It works fine, just needs to be adjusted a bit because it sits out too far. - There is no spare (not surprising) so the spare tire "cover" panel has nothing to sit on and is sagging into the front trunk area. Personally, I prefer to not have the spare and have the extra depth for front luggage or stuff capacity. - NEEDS a good detailing/cleaning inside and out. I'm sure the owner would get these items addressed as part of the negotiating the price. I'm sending him a list of the things I found so he knows. Overall, it is a VERY nice car that runs and looks awesome. I only took a couple pictures because there was not much to take that was not already shown. Besides...being dirty the pictures don't come out nice. |
