1979 Porsche 924

An independent read

Honestly, I'd steer a family away from this one as a first car for a teenager: it's a 46-year-old sports coupe with no airbags, no ABS, and parts and specialist labor that cost real money whenever something goes. The description is written by someone who knows the car, which I like, but it's all words with nothing to back it up in the photos, which are literally twelve copies of the same outline side view, no interior, no engine bay, no odometer, no underside. The tags claim service records and garage-kept and the text mentions receipts for the belt and pump at 112k, so those should be easy to actually produce. The thing to check on these is rust, especially floors, sills and the battery tray area, and the timing belt interval matters a lot on this engine, so the belt history being documented is genuinely the right thing to have done. For an enthusiast with a second car and a toolbox, this could be a good weekend project; as daily transport for a new driver it's the wrong tool.

Ask the seller about

1. 01 Ask for the receipts for the timing belt and water pump at 112k, plus anything else done since
2. 02 Get photos of the interior, the odometer, the engine bay and underneath, since all twelve shots are the same side profile
3. 03 Have someone put it on a lift and check the floors, sills, the area under the battery tray and the fuel lines for rust
