Got a line on a 924. Needs some body work and has not been run is about 6 or 8 months. It was a donated vehicle and no price has been set. What is the general consensus on the 924 and would it be worth it if I could get it for $200 or $300 buck? I know it had an audi motor in it and was underpowered. But tell me a little more about them. What do you know about them?

They are more under-rated than the 914. I had one when I was 16, and 17 years old. I drove it like I stole it, and it was absolutely indestructible. It got good gas mileage, it was adequetly powered- think 2.0 914 with stock motor. It had a great heater, and one of the coolest features was the Transmission. It was mounted in the rear with the diff. So you end up with a 51/49 weight distribution. It really did handle well for what it was. I can't really think of a better daily driver to be honest- aside from a vw diesel.
