Hello, I'm 20 years old and I live in Ellensburg, Washington and I have recently come across a 1975, 1800cc 914 for sale and I had a few questions for the 914 pros on this site.
1. Would one of these cars be manageable for a 20 year college student? 2. What are some common problems with the 914's? 3. Before buying the car, what questions should I ask the owner? 4. If I buy the 914 and I have problems with it how easy is it to find mechanics who work on them? I have been a Porsche fan since I was 10 years old. When I was 1 my mom traded in a black 924 Turbo (because it could not fit a child seat in the back) for a '91 VW Cabriolet. She passed on the love of Porsche's on to me and it would be a dream come true to have a Porsche while in college. I will include the link to the 914, thank you very much for trying to help me acquire my first Porsche. http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/2329570596.html |

If you and your dad like to work on cars, the 914 could be an option. If you and your dad don't work on cars, look for something more modern. If you have a pile of cash, then disregard the first 2 If/Then statements. The 914 is a great car in good weather, in rainy weather, the car is not much fun as the ventilation system can barely keep the windows clear. If you are interested in the car, ABSOLUTELY get someone with 914 experience to look at the car with you. Most folks here will do it for free or for a beer or lunch. |
