Description of 1988 Porsche 924 2 door coupe |
|
Beautiful 1988 Porsche 924S 160hp / 5 Speed manual transmission.With its Guards Red exterior and Black leather interior..this is what Porsche is all about. Meticulously maintained. This is the last of the great ones. Solid stee, very high quality construction, no plastic bumpers. Gorgeouseuro body, with stunning lines- that looks like it's moving even when parked. There is nothing else like it on the road today. Even the 911 crowd takes a second look when I drive by.It drives beautifully on the street and highway, no noises, no creaks no pulling. Gets around 30mpg! When the sunroof is taken out, it feels like you are in a convertible because of its huge opening. The clutch is perfect and shifts super smooth, no slipping at all and hits the sweet spot just right. The seating position is perfect and so is the layout of the pedals. Lot's of leg room for any driver. The seats are super comfortable as well. This was the last year for the 924S and Porsche gave it all the goodies. Power Windows, Power sunroof, Power assist steering, Power Mirrors. If you are in the market for a classic Porsche and don't want to spend $40K on a beat up old 911 with no air-conditioning then this is your daisy. This is a car you will be proud to own and drive. This car has been fully serviced by the best Porsche mechanic on the East Coast and I have plenty of receipts that will go with the car. Keep in mind that when you buy an old Porsche, all of the following work will have to be done by you at some point. However, when you buy this car, you will have the peace of mind knowing its already been done by the right mechanic and you can enjoy it from day one. Rebuilt transmission - shifts nice and tight like a new car. [don't think for a minute you won't need to get this done when you buy an old Porsche] Replaced O-rings and recharged AC - it blows ice cold now Replaced water pump and rollers - an absolute must Replaced Timing belt - you better do this or you engine will blow up when it breaks Replaced all hoses - must be done or you will be stuck on a hot day when it blows Replaced radiator - if you want proper cooling a new rad is the only way to go Replaced spark plugs, wires and dizzy - this makes the engine run smooth Replaced battery - car starts on the coldest day now Replaced air filter - let's the engine breath properly now Replaced wheel bearings - no road noise at all New brake pads and rotors on all corners - safety comes first New tires - car grips like a boss New shocks on all four corners New E -code headlights - huge improvement over the original lights New gas tank and fuel lines - you have to drop the gas tank to change the gas lines- otherwise you will get nasty fumes in the cabin. This step is a must for all old Porsches. Fixed all exhaust leaks - inspected and soldered up any small spots that needed it Replaced speedometer cable - no more squeaking noise in the speedo. New radio with USB + Bluetooth [I have the original radio] New fabric dash cover [the dash has a few stress lines on the top near the vents] very hard to see New center horn pad [I have the original] New black floor-mats with red piping and Porsche lettering [original mats included] New master + slave cylinders clutch and brake Fresh oil and fluids all around New hood and trunk lifts[shocks] New Porsche crest on hood Comes with two sets of keys, original books, original jack and original collapsiblespare tire,original sunroof storage bag, original front headlight/bumper bra The paint is an 9 out of 10. It has a very nice patina, but it is an old car with some honest dings and blemisheshere and there. I would leave it just as it is and let it age gracefully.It is only original once and it should stay that way. It has never been hit and the body is perfectly straight. There is zero rust and no leaks anywhere. I am the third owner, the first two owners were car collectors, and they took it out for weekend drives [hence the low mileage]. When I bought it two years ago, I replaced all the things that got old and tired. Now, it is like new again. I am selling it to make room for a new project: a Jaguar E-Type- my dream car. The only thing that is wrong is the cruise control doesn't always work. I brought it to my mechanic to get fixed and each time I went there, it worked fine. But when I drive it on the highway it works when it wants to. I think it might be a dirty wire connection in the cruise control stalk. I find that on these old cars the electrical connections just get dirty and a good cleaning brings it back to life. I am not much of a cruise control person so I did not bother to look further into it. |
