E30 for Porsche??

[Timmyboy]

Hey everyone, I may or may not be trading my 87 325i zinno vert for a 87' guards red 924s and was wondering if anyone knew anything about this car cause they don't seem very complicated and part prices look relatively the same, if someone could chime in with weak sports on this car i'd really appreciate it as i have little knowledge and google is really doing me any good!
Thanks!

924s are kinda known as the redheaded stepchild Porsche, they have a VW motor (basically) they handle well but are pretty slow. if your were going to trade for any porsche try and get a 944 or a 914

Worse comes to worse we dont trade and i get to keep the E30, Im not going to trade unless i feel the Porsche is on the same level as the E30 on the upkeep and current maintenance. But i was just worried about the difficulty of working on them. I was worried about this when i bought the E30 but that turned out to be the easiest car to work on ever.

Porsche is an asshole and likes to make parts NLA on everything over 10 years old.

[IronFreak]

If you do, hit me up for parts.

No. No. Just...no.

I had a 924 and it was a steaming pile of shit. Infact, any 924 owner will tell you they are. It is a rebadged VW. Keep your E30 and you'll keep your sanity.

Any Porsche that starts with a 9 is probably a steaming pile of shit.

[IronFreak]

If you're going to do a 9, go older and do a 914, I know of a cherry one for sale, or a 944 turbo.

Just like all the other posts said. Keep your E30. Porsche 924 is a money pit waiting to happen.

LOL !


924 was designed and built by Audi, i would avoid ownership if at all possible.

If you want a porsche, save up some more $ and get the one you want.

Live, eat, breathe. :p

For the record, I don't like any P-car. I can appreciate them, but I don't like them.

Hit up Vin-barrett, that dude is big on Porsches.

And for my the 924 is my least favorite of the line up.

I thought the 914 was the poor man's Porsche?

That's the Boxster.

914s are VWs.
