Buying a '75 1.8, Approximate Value? Options

[BMartin914]

I recently came across a 75 1.8 for sale. The only problem is that the car is several hundred miles away.
I have correspoded with the owner and plan to see the car in a few weeks.

The owner describes the car as being in "very good condition." The car supposedly has very little/no
structural rust, battery tray rust, long. rust, etc. The car does have one very visible spot of rust
on the pass side rear qtr panel. Rust through caused by a loose piece of sealing foam. The car also has
the typical 1st gear synchro problems -- tough to get into 1st when stopped, shifts fine when shifted
slowly.

I am trying to feel out the value of this car. I am thinking $2500-2800. What would others offer for a car in
similar condition?

I have a couple of pics that i will post to give folks some idea of the car.

Welcome to 914club. I saw that you had joined the local Colorado email list.

personally I'd want to get into that car lower than $2500. It's hard to really say for sure without looking at it myself though. I would also highly recommend you find someone local to the seller that knows 914s go and have a really good look at it. Unless you plan on making the trek yourself with the possibility of turning around and going home and NOT purchasing the car.
