GarageKeptMotors.) The 2.0's refined brakes and steering results in
a phenomenal driving experience. -Hagerty, Car Profiles, October
2019 To say that the Porsche 914 has come into favor with
collectors is an understatement. Over the past two years,
valuations for well-maintained 914s have risen dramatically,
especially so for cars with the more desirable 2.0-liter engine. As
Hagerty noted, the as if on rails handling and low-to-the-road
seating combine with a targa-top open-air sensation for a memorable
sports car experience. The 914 offered here is just such an
opportunity, with the added appeal of its from-the-factory
Lagunablau (Laguna blue) exterior paint maintained in exceptional
condition. The car's remarkably low 54,000 miles (just 1,200 per
year on average) further add to its appeal. The 914's exterior
shows few, if any imperfections. Paint gloss on every surface is
uniform. Even the paint near the door handles is un-scratched from
fingernails. There are no rust bubbles or any other indications of
body rust. Lighting lenses are free of damage; the windshield is
free of cracks; the rear engine cover with its P-O-R-S-C-H-E
lettering is complete. The targa top fits properly. Aftermarket
wheels with Porsche-crest chrome center caps show no curb rash or
wear marks. Rubber surfaces on the front and rear bumpers are not
faded and appear to have never been damaged. The model-designation
badge is properly mounted. Pop-up headlights operate as they
should. Inside the car, an aftermarket sport steering wheel is
mounted, with the car's original wheel included in the sale.
Similarly, aftermarket speakers have been added, but the original
speakers come with the car. An aftermarket audio head unit is also
in place. The car's instrumentation is complete, and lenses are
clear, including on the console-mounted auxiliary gauges. The
Porsche trademark textured basketweave dash surfaces are well
maintained with original colorful switchgear, and the dash itself
is free of cracks and fading from the sun. The five-speed shifter
wears its original knob showing the shifting pattern. Black vinyl
seat upholstery is neither cracked nor torn, and matching black
carpeting is in very good condition. Even the area around the foot
pedals is tidy. Floors are protected with 914-branded carpet mats.
The interior areas of both the front and rear trunks are similarly
clean and well-kept, a combination of metal surfaces painted in the
body color, and black carpeting. The engine compartment appears
complete and orderly. From underneath, the car shows no signs of
damage from too-aggressive driving, and with the exception of
un-coated metal on components like the exhaust system, shows no
rust at all. All data tags-including the paint identification
sticker-remain in place. The faithful-to-the-original condition of
this Porsche 914 2.0 is presented in the more than 185
high-definition photographs, together with a short
walk-around-and-startup video mentioned earlier, available at the
GarageKeptMotors site. That said, there is no substitute for an
in-person, up-close inspection. (Sorry... no test auto-crossing
runs.) We do, however, encourage inspections by interested parties
at our Grand Rapids, Michigan showroom. We ask only that an
appointment be made by phone or email in advance. Our showroom is
not open to the public. Hagerty titled their review: Why the
