Derek-

This is my second 914, and I've owned them since about 1990. It's a great car,
being a Volkswagen / Porsche product, though parts are getting harder to find.
My current car, a '76, only has a little over 50,000 miles on it. Just a baby!

I do have a turntable but haven't used it in years. The J5 Christmas album IS on
CD, but good luck finding it right now!

years now, with about 50k miles on it. It's had its little issues, but all in
all, has never given us half the trouble we expected. Routine maintenance (and
it needs lots of it) is the key. Still has the original red paint job, and
people often say it still looks new.
