Looking for 4712908713  Group: Members Posts: 144 Joined: 20-February 18 Member No.: 21,910 Region Association: None  |
I found this '71 914 for $2,500. It runs but has some issues with the linkage between the engine and the transmission. It's still using the efi system. It also has rust cancer in the rear trunk. Is that a big deal? I haven't gone to see it because I need all the help I can get. It has 4-lug fuchs and the interior is pretty nice. Any suggestions? Is $2,500 a good price? Roughly how much would it cost to repair? I'm not worried about cosmetic rust, I just don't want something that will fold in half on it's maiden voyage. What would you pay for it? Oh, and one more thing... it doesn't have the original engine. Thanks everyone!!!

How much you pay for this car almost does not matter (unless you buy it to part out and sell the components).
Whether the rust is moderate or major, if you pay a decent shop to do the work, and then paint, it will cost you more than the car could possibly be worth. If you do it all yourself, and do not put a cash value on your labor, you can probably stay within the ultimate car value, but will still spend more than the original purchase price on parts and materials. |
