HELP: Still searching for my first 914
I've been searching for almost two years now on and off for my first 914. Now i'm completely ready to purchase a car if I find the right one for the right price.
Is it just me or are the prices of these cars going up and availability going down? I'm looking for a car to autox and track, have a good time with. This is what i'm looking for mod wise: Increased displacement, built 2.0 or higher. must run on street gas 5 lug ideal but not required. worked suspension: koni or bilsteins.. i've seen too many cars with KYB Gas-A-Just-A-Crap. stiffer springs/tbars stock or aftermarket(light) wheels with 205 race tires (Hoosiers or Kuhmos) race seats and harnesses would be ideal Rust FREE! Pretty much something that has been autocrossed proving to be a strong performer and a reliable car. I've come across a few and posted about them, it seems like everyone online devalues the price of any car that is posted. What should a stock 2.0 with basic mods and history go for? I've come to the conclusion that nothing out there is perfect. Everyone claims their car is the best they've ever seen, etc etc. Maybe they are right. Every day I search 914club, pelican, ebay, rennlist and pca.org. So.... does anyone have a nicely setup 914 for sale for under $7k?! Someone please help!!!

I've seen a few autoXers sold for that neighborhood of $$.
Try expanding your criteria, though. Suspension work is not that difficult; if you can find a non-rusty 2.0 you can upgrade the suspension for $1K if you look around. Tires are "wear items" and should be considered disposable on an autoXer. That is, the exact tires should not matter because you'll be replacing them at least once per season anyway. --DD
