Which year to buy?

I'm no expert, just an owner/enthusiast.


I have a 98 non-S, with a 5-speed. I have been very pleased with it in the two years I've owned it. I haven't had any problems with it, and it turns heads every where I go. Lots of compliments, too.
The only thing I would say is...don't buy tiptronic. C'mon, this is a PORSCHE. An automatic in a sports car is....an oxymoron.

I've owned a 1973 914....I think the best year for a 914 was 1977 (the year they stopped production)

Gosh going to a 986/987 will be like going from horseback to jet travel!


Good luck!!!!

- couldn't have said it better!

clutch snob? Hardly. I simply think that shifting your car (without the computer overriding you) is part of the driving experience. A clutch isn't hard to learn.
