Porsche 924, worth it?

[ST150HB]

Good morning,

A guards red 924 has come up for sale locally to me, and although not a car that is high on my "must have" list, it does seem like a tempting project at the price it is. It has a few niggles that i'm certain could be easily rectified, however do you guys think it would be worth the time and money? Unfortunately it's not the turbo, it comes with the carrera body kit but definitely needs some tlc.

Anybody here been in the same situation and gone through with it? I guess my true answer can only come from viewing it, however any pointers for me to look out for would be much appreciated.

Yep, you need to view it very carefully.

It could be the biggest pile of rusty broken kack, like new, or somewhere in between.

Whether its 'worth it' will depend on how many thousands it needs to make it decent.

Unless its a 924S then certainly not worth it. Even if it is and its cheap, the parts will still cost the same. Most are neglected by people who want to tell their mates that they own/owned a Porsche but cant or wont pay for its upkeep.
