Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Leading evidence: 'Use some bits n bobs' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use some bits n bobs' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Spotted a 924 Turbo (Guards Red) in a yard whilst on a bike ride. Non runner I'd guess. Definitely a "project". Interior pretty banged around. Thought I might drop in & see if old mate would sell it.
Thoughts on price? How longs a piece of string???????????????????????????????????????????
924 turbo pricing difficult to determine as not many come up for sale, and the ones that do often have a few niggles. I reckon a relatively sorted 924 turbo is worth somewhere between $20k to 40k, with a car that's in 'original condition' (ie running however has had a few years without love) between $10k to $20k.
Using my imagination of the car you describe, I would value the car at $5k. Reason being, is to bring it up to a reasonable car you'll need to spend at least $15k.
Some parts for 924 turbos are getting difficult to source. Nobody wants to work on them and everything will need to be replaced as all the bits are towards end of life.
That said, when they are running right, these cars are lots of fun and you'll have one of the most unique Porsches on the road.
I have to agree with
@bear924
.. while few and far between, they are not cheap to recommission ...
The saying "there is no such thing as a cheap Porsche" is most true when talking about 924 Turbo's ...
And as Steve pointed out ... I can always use some bits n bobs ..
😅
On advice from a water cooled sage, I'm going to scrap my 968
@Dreamr
, do you want to grab a few bits so you can upgrade your 924 to a 968 (bigger number = better car, so I accept mine's not the best but it's well up there)?
Engine and transmission are fine (but the connection between the 2 is stuffed). There's doors, windows and even a sunroof. It has fancy wheels, leather seats (get rid of that rubbish velour in yours) and is the bestest ever an ever an ever colour according to most of the wombats in this forum - black (although my black has some flaked bronze in it so as long as you're not an architect you'll like it).
you can't control the destiny for the car Ronnie. It's in the stars. And if you get the sunroof, you'll be able to see them far easier than craning your ugly mug out the window
🙂
I was told some months ago that it'd be better to scrap it than let it sit and wait for a repair. I've already sold the antenna, 4 wheel nuts (one of each corner so it's still safe to drive), a headlight lamp and fuel cap. Only $19,990 left to get back in parts and it'll have cost me nothing!
They are Jason. But you've got caught in a running joke with Ronnie. The car isn't really being scrapped. Although if the sage had had his way, it'd be in parts already (and it's not Ronnie who is the sage.....)
