Hello all, I'm brand new to the magical world of the 914. I've always been a fan of them, and it APPEARS my dream is about to come true. I've found one locally, and am going to look at it in a few days. Its a 1975 1.8. I'm not a motor head, and was hoping to get some advice on what to look out for, or for signs of danger...
I look forward to getting to know people... Thanks, Kyle[i] |

38 year old cars are great second cars, not great Daily drivers.
They break down...everything will break. If you spend a year driving it and fixing it, finally getting to touch every sub system and every wire...then it becomes dependable...until something else breaks. Rich |

Rich (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) These cars are a great learning experience. If you want to know how a car works the 914 is great place to start since they are really uncomplicated. Good community to help you through the process too. Just don't get reliant on it. It is going to break - and you will fix it - it just may take a little time. Take advantage of the northwesters before you buy. They've all been through it and know where to look and how much work it will take to fix it. |
