Always an interesting car the 912E. Lots of one year only parts, some of which are very difficult to source FI parts, accelerator and possibly clutch cable. FI is different to 914, and also engine tin is very unique, and OEM mufflers are non existent. Also a slow car, has about 85HP when new so after 160k I wouldn't expect to get your hair blown back.
Positives : easy to work on, great gas milage, low numbers produced, racers like the gearing, again tranny is unique to the model, they have a following. Prices seem to be comprable to a mid year on fair condition

Drive it like a mid engined momentum car and you will enjoy it. Just don't expect 78 onwards 911 performance. It would probably keep up with a a stock MY 911 though. There is a site 912bbs.org which has some great examples of the 912E. Jake Raby builds some monster motors for them, not cheap but they have been known to crush 911's at the track.
The think i could never get past with the 912E is the sound. I saw a beautiful Mexico blue one at the last C&C down here which looked spectacular, The owner was very proud of his new Stebro (they make Ferrari mufflers) system but when he started it up TBH it sounded like a VW bug.
YMMV
