Contact Ron at IPB Autosport. He will charge you for it, but there aren’t many who know 914’s as well. Jim Dupree or jcd914 here would also be a possibility, but he is a busy guy so...

He takes car our Cayman S and our 914. |

I would like to know if the engine is healthy, all the electrics and brakes work fine and ofcourse if there is any significant rust. |

Tell him I sent you and he’ll double it! (Just kidding) he has been described as the fastest 914 pilot in Northern California And he built the car he drove so... |

Ron did mine, and works on mine as well. He does fantastic work, in fact is in the middle of doing some major work for me right now. I can't recommend him highly enough |

Seller did not confirm yet if he is willing to bring the car to that shop (if not then it’s money saved, then I know enough). Seller says “a porsche guy had a look and gave thumbs up”, possibly but not enough for me. I want that somebody with knowledge takes a look. |

The advantage of a third party objective look is obvious. I think Alissa, Ron’s daughter handles email. I would still call Monday.

QUOTE(sholman5 @ Nov 6 2017, 01:08 AM) Good luck dax. Can't wait to see the day that you finally find what you have been looking for. Me too. Not easy. Or the car is a lemon or is above my budget. If a good one shows up then it is sold in a matter of hours. Distance and timedifference is against me. I also got a lot of offers "offline" with silly prices (overseas buyer will buy anything strategy ?) Ofcourse I'm looking local as well but with 95 % being USA import cars and in bad shape I can better keep looking myself. Honestly, I'm slowing down a bit now as winter is coming... perhaps I will change strategy and will fly to the USA next spring for some kind of "roadtrip" combining some sightseeing with hopefully finding a good car. cheers |
