Came across this today, owner says it's been there for about 1 year and was being driven a year ago, looks like it's been standing for longer, the reg is not clear in the photographs but i made a note of it, thinking of making an offer, what should i offer or should i run....

Do it. What's the worst that could happen?

I had thoughts about a 928 in similar condition. Someone else snapped it up.

to cut his grass and then go home fella !!

I think you will find that is a 924S - all the running gear and expense of a 944 in the body of a 924. They are worth more than a 924 and less than a 944. Its been off the road a LOT longer than a year!
Its quite likely rotten and any offers should be in the hundreds... probably £500 and go from there.

Isn't that more of a 'bush' find ?

It even says 924S on the back...give it a better look over, but as above, start in the hundreds...

would that not cost more to repair and get back on the road than its ever going to be worth ?? having said that looks like a really nice low miler is work about £12k
Bonkers when a 986 can be had for half that

Looks like that 924S has been planted, it's sinking. Perhaps the wanted the world's only 924S 'Silver Rose' Edition.

Call me sceptical but underneath the shrubbery it looks clean. Like its been washed and the plants put back. A car left outside unattended for a few years would be proper manky. It looks cleaner than my daily.
