I paid $4800 for 74, in similar condition, 4-5 years ago.

We, outside CA, don't have the selection of rust free cars in our areas.
My advice is that if it is truely rust free(an oxymoron for 914s), buy it. Haggle the fella down as much as ya can. $6000 + is not out of line. Shucks, that's Visa card money.
