I'm thinking of selling my 914 and pennying up for a more modern, more reliable car. Starting college this fall and I really am scared that I can't rely on the 914 as my daily driver. To work and back everyday, and to school. I'm not sure it'll hold up. I really love the car. Have put SO much time, money and effort into it (yet it's still a junker (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ) and holds great sentimental value to me. I know I'd miss it big time. But the practicality part of me is becoming more eminent.
So in 10-20 years, what do you think the status of the 914 will be? Will I be able to find another one at a reasonable price? I know value will go up. Or would I be saying goodbye to the 914 forever? What do you think...... ? |

The reliability is in YOUR control...
Every car I own is 31+ years old and all are aircooled, that never stops me from driving them anywhere at any time without worry. I drive 83 miles roundtrip per day and go for weeks ata time without even checking my oil- because I know the car, know the engine and know when it needs something. The WORST thing for these cars is NOT being driven, drive it daily, keep it serviced and don't worry about it. Fact is that any car like the 914 is appreciating in value daily, puting money into these cars is an investment. Buying a new radiator ladedn, plastic piece of recycled garbage is just a "not so smart" purchase as it depreciates immediately. drive it. |
