michel Posted 4March, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 4March, 2017 Dont disagree.. think might have been saying that .. but also saying even if you are into it for 20-30 or what ever, it's still relatively cost effective porsche turbo fun. besides they don't all have to be shiny and new looking do they?

Dreamr Posted 4March, 2017 Report Share Posted 4March, 2017 Purely because if one is looking at a $10k car, a $25k - $30k car is generally not an option.It also certainly doesn't have to be shiny and new looking, but it does need to be trouble free and safe .... and that costs money.

michel Posted 4March, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 4March, 2017 Again agree. But just maybe for the 10k 924turbo buyer, is going to have to deal with realities of recommissioning , tweaking, fettling an older car. If they just want to jump in and drive then buying an N/A in ok nick, might be the go. Meanwhile the odd punter may just get lucky and find a 924turbo where the owners don't know and or care what they're worth and end up with a clean fuss free buy, maybe needing new coolant and pads and good luck to em. Unlikely All I'm typing is the turbo, is still an underrated thing of it's time, still affordable mostly obtainable - more so when you consider other period turbo variants $$$ '02, 99 etc Dreamr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel Posted 5March, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 5March, 2017 Another turbo hits the market. https://carsales.mobi/cars/details/Porsche-924-1981/SSE-AD-4594516 as thought was the pretty tidy turbo sold from QLD last year.

edgy Posted 14March, 2017 Report Share Posted 14March, 2017 (edited) Assuming this was the car last year that sold (less than 10?) was in northern beaches with an old fella last year yes, he was asking $14k. It was on Tasmanian rego, I tried to buy it and was in line but someone else got a deposit in and supposedly paid full ask. So im not sure how he can say "my loss your gain" I doubt he sunk $10k + into it.... unless he went to one of sydneys most boutique Porsche specialists and got reamed?

I know there will be some that disagree but that is my view ... I find it enough to drive on ooccasion, let alone every day ....A lot of fun though!!!

bear924 Posted 8April, 2017 Report Share Posted 8April, 2017 My 924 turbo was my only car for a couple of years. If the car is sorted they aren't difficult to drive, where you feel it is things like air conditioning, cruise control and all the mod cons that make modern cars... modern. 924s are also now difficult to get parts for, this could be a pain if you need something sorted quickly.For a daily I would lean towards a boxster or 996. Part of me would like to daily a 928 however considering I've yet to drive one I'd take my musings with a grain of salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have had a 996 and am seriously looking at Boxsters as a daily but the no back seats limits it a bit... which has me looking at Evos n WRXs... along with 928s..and this tidy looking 924T! Daily reliability of a 928 or 924T is a concern though. While a beater boxster should go alright I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect daily for what I need and I get in and out with a smile on my face every week day Coming down the freeway each night with the sunroof wide open, cool breeze and the purr of the 5.0L up front is hard to beat I reckon.
