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?

Having owned a $250 924, i bestow upon you my knowledge...
DO NOT get involved. Unless you have nearly $10,000 and 7 years to invest into one, avoid it like the plague. Finish your Shlalom first, then move on to a 924. They do have a lighter body in comparison to the 944. They are only PVC coated on the undercairrage (looming rust problems) and the little 2.0 L engine that was in them was very anemic. As mentioned, only good thing is a 924S (944 engine in 924 body) or doing a V8/V6 conversion. Other than that, they're worthless. A 931 on the other hand... if you can find the "unobtainium" parts, would be a VERY fun little highway hopper. |
