My advice would be to do a LOT of research here before buying any 914, especially this one. I don't have a feel for the values in Germany, but this car seems to be way over-priced. You would be better off buying a nice driver-quality car in the US and have it shipped over.

The search button above is your friend here.

Hey there!

I already had a look especially all around the platform for the battery:



And it seems to me not too serious. All other tips are very helpful, thank you very much!

I will take the time and have a look through all of your links at the weekend ... hopefully ... weather prediction says that I should spent my time in the park or at the river Elbe instead of surfing through the internet ...


Anyway: if the car runs again I will take the opportunity to do a test drive. I will definitively not buy this particular 914, but I'd like to get a feeling of this is the right car for me or not.


By the way: is there kind of a marketplace for cars in this forum? Couldn't find one ...

Or dou you have other good sources for rust free 914?

Rainer

it's called the Classified Forum:

Thanks!

@ Gustl: Wolfgang, Du bist doch auch in anderen 914 Foren unterwegs. Welches kannst Du empfehlen (http://www.porsche-914.com/)? Und hast Du eine gute Quelle für technisch gute Fahrzeuge an der Hand?

Rainer

Guten Morgen Rainer,

I'd be concerned with the GRP mat that is on the firewall. The German spelling would be "Fugazi".

I took four years of German in high school and barely remember any of it. Air Kuhlt might be proper. I speak a lot more Spanish these days...

Joe

Thank you for your replay.

What do you you excatly mean by "GRP" ?
Glas fibre reinforced plastic?

yepp - das ist wohl das umgänglichste deutschsprachige Forum
wie ich gerade gesehen habe, bist Du bereits online


na ja, in Österreich wäre der Reinhard Funke: http://www.funke.at.tt/
aber generell fragst Du besser im Sector, da kommen Antworten, die nicht so weit entfernt sind ...

Yes, here we tend to just call it fiberglass.

@ Gustl: danke :-)


@ Porschef: Well, "fibreglass" is also known in German language, but technically this isn't correct ... sorry, I'm working th in the aircraft industry, and fibre reinforced plastic are my daily business ...



Anyway: even if I love the viper green colour of the Porsche 914, this will never be my car. The car is compared to other too expensive and there is still a lot of work to do.

I like to have a car which is technically in good or perfect condition without rust, and I will accept an interior and/or paint which needs to be refurbished.


So if anybody can give me a hint where to find a reliable dealer I will focus on an imported car.

One final question: an someone explain the difference between the US model and the Japan models?
