You made the right decision. Exactly the car you wanted and worth the price. I don't think your offer was too low. If you had started with 5000 or 5500 she would have countered with 6000 anyway. You would have said yes. All ends up the same. Besides, if she felt abused, the pile of stuff might have stayed in the closet.
The car is as close to rust free as I have seen (3 inch spot of surface rust on rear trunk floor). Floors and engine compartment are exceptional. No evidence of any major body repair. Clean white paint on and under the battery tray! All carpets, pads, including firewall pad look almost new. All bright-work good. Near perfect seals and interior, perfect dash. Five original unpainted Fuchs with new tires. Only modifications: front air dam, very well done matching VDO oil pressure gauge added to console, and front bumper rubbers removed with original bumper remaining. Original owners manual and service booklet showing sold new in Utah. An eye catching driver as is. Maybe you can tell I like the car!
Hope the drive home was uneventful but memorable. I predict chains will stay in the box. No storms predicted today. We'll all be waiting for the trip diary post. What a great New Year's adventure, 600 miles from Portland to Missoula in a "new" 914!
I'd almost miss the Fiesta Bowl to ride along. GO DUCKS !!
