For what it's worth...

If you want something fun, for less money than you will have in a workable 924, and is a Porsche, let me STEER you toward the 944 range, performance is built in, and the usual suspect stuff is available at somewhat more reasonable prices... considering the performance, reliability, sticky-factor....

Later, the better, I loved/hated mine.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) There is allot of truth to that--but alas, I am a glutton for punishment--hell-I own a teener!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/givemebeer.gif)

And there is this certain junk yard I know of where there is a derilict 944--lotsa parts for cheap!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) OK, here is the skinny--me and my drinkin buddy would go the Norfolk Live--at NOB Norfolk--this is where my carrier was homeported. In the roundup bar--drafts (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer3.gif) were 16 oz and 1.25 each- (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) ----we would spend about 125-150 $$per day for two day stints- (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) -We were on a three section duty rotation--This lasted for about three years, consequently, that was how long I was active duty for the Navy-so break out that math you prolly told your teacher you would never use and figure that up---also shows what and how I felt about where I was at, at the time---- (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif)

Those were good times---still don't know how I survived--I had only a Honda Nighthawk 650 for a ride back then

Guess it is just like (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smoke.gif) --you build a tolerance

But then I saw the light and jumped ship into the Coast Guard and never looked back--true story---My maker must have a real plan for me----not sure what yet tho (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

And now I live pretty close to South Beach and Fort Lauderdale beach--ever seen a video called " Girls gone wild"? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chowtime.gif)

While I am no-where near like I used to be-- (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/givemebeer.gif)

100 pints a DAY? it's not tolerance... your liver conceeded the battle, and will lose the war.

The price is right for that Stuttgart Edsel...just drive it till the torque tube gives out. The repair costs on that one item send most 924s to the local pick-a-part. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

Porsches don't have radiators....

I'd rather ride a damn mule as drive a watercooled Porsche!

The only 924 I ever owned was used as a dirt road car and left in the Chattahoochee river in 1988 after I rolled it 5 times chasing a deer!

I removed the plates and just left it there... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif)

I only had 60 bucks in the whole damn car!

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Oh, but split that between two guys and about 10-12 hours long--that was a long time ago in a galaxy far far away---But I can say that when my carrier pulled into port after being at sea for more than 1-9 months--the first 10 bars you would come to when walking away from the ship in a straight line were completly sold out within 2 hours--- (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/drunk.gif)

Had a 78' 4spd and then an 81' 5spd just out of high school. I thought they were a lot of bang for the buck back then. I couldn't swing a 944, they had heaters, didn't leak anything ect. Nice cars for the time (like 12 years ago), but I think they are getting too old now. You can get a nice, NICE 944 for $2500, so even a nice 924 for $500 seems spendy.

I did the Jeff thing, found like 2 944's for $1200 and one for $1300. Sold both for $2k+, just turned them, painted one (mistake). I would rather have the 944, nicer cars. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

Real Porsches dont have radiators? What about the 996, the Boxster, and the new Carrera GT? They all have radiators. You saying you wouldnt drive a new GT?

The 924S and the 944 are basically the same car, 2.5 liter 160hp +/-, 5 speed car. The 924S is actually faster than the 944 Lighter and more aerodynamic. If it is not a 924S, I would pass, if it is an S I would grab it, fun track cars or just a knock around car. Do the timing/balance belt maintenance and they will run a long time, abuse it and pay the price!

My first P-car was a 924. Loved that car until my wife came along and let me drive her 914. We still have her 914, I sold the 924 in 1989.

Does that answer your question?????
