Re: $3k '87 Porsche 924 S Coupe
okay.. WELL... The car has been repainted... I can see where there was quite a bit of rust on the body under the paint coating (random rough and uneven spots in the car pannel...) The whole interior is shot to hell. The engine seems to run "perfectly". I didn't notice hardly any flaws... (except acceleration is slower than my probe >_<) Idles fine at about 800rpms. Gas Guage is inconsistant (constantly moving between 1/4 and 1/2 tank line) Milage was about 120,000 miles. Right power window doesn't work. Took the car up to 120mph just to check stability, and it seemed to some "free play" in the steering after about 80 mph... Steering was kinda bouncier than my probe on the highway while just cruisin at 80, got even worse as i went faster (durrr :P) I'm not sure if thats just areo dynamics or if the suspension is just old. I think rear struts were replaced for one reason or another though... T-top was a bit tricky to get off as the electronic motors that release the back end are probably old. No rust on the undercarriage. Seems to me the clutch was very heavy (but this is the first porsche i've ever driven so I dunno if that's normal compared to "low end" sports cars...) Shifting was average. Not factory smooth but not too rough. headlights work, everything checks okay. No leaks from what I can tell... Hood release latch is broken (had to take a screwdriver to it...) Whatcha guys think for 3 grand?
