Yeah. Buy some jackstands, and a lifetime membership to AAA.

Well, the interior seems to be somewhat worn out. The engine has 120k miles, the car also need a new exhaust, seems to be running, but kind of rough. Body is straight, with couple of rusted areas. Is that enough to get this started. By the way, the asking price is $1500 OBO
Thanks for the comments |

Smog is ok. I dont know about all the parts being there? Dont really know what u mean by that? I dont have any pictures, but you can consider the usual worn to a 30year-old car. Is the price low, high, ???????

Is it currently a driver, or has it been sitting for an extended time? Currently registered? Salvage title? What's the battery tray & hell hole look like? Pics would help a lot. There are so many variables, can you try & be really specific? How big of a hurry are you in? Can you wait for a local 914 owner to go & look at it with you?

Im going to go see the car tommorrow, possibly buying it? The title is clean, weekend driver, second owner of the car, first passed away. I have not actually seen the car in person, just by some unclear pics and detailed conversations with owner.
