1987 Porsche 924s - Low Miles - All Original - Nice!! Excellent Condition!!! on 2040-cars

30K miles on this car -- and it shows.   This car has been in the family since bought new in September, 1987.   Doubt that you can find a nicer one.  The interior is like new.  Never wrecked or damaged.  Body is 100% straight.  These cars used galvanized body panels -- no rust.  Has been garaged always.  This was a second car for my wife's father. It was rarely driven and has never seen snow or salt.   It's been sitting in our garage since November, 2009.  (Purchased new in Cincinnati.  Was in Lexington, Ky till July, 2004 and then in Las Vegas till October, 2009)  Has been driven less than 200 miles in the last 4 years.   This car needs to go to someone that will drive it and appreciate a great example of the Porshe 924S. 

2 problems the 924S is known for:  the dash cracks on top and the odometer strips a gear and quits working if you push the trip meter while the car is moving.  The dash is cracked on top.  We have a pad for it that fits great but not shown in the pics.  It's still new and we never used it. 

The odometer quit working June 2002 when it read 20,141 miles.  He kept a notebook in the car and maintained a meticulous record of every time he fueled up.  Also includes notes about maintenance and some comments about trips made out of town.  Page one starts with the day it was picked up from the dealer.   On page 16, it's noted that the odometer is "stuck" at 20,141.  Page 21 ends when it was shipped to us with a calculated mileage of 28,120.  The car was being driven an average of  ~1400 miles per year through 2002 and much less after 2004 when they moved to Vegas.  In addition to the notes, the condition of the car bears this out.  I will share excerpts with interested parties and a full copy of the notebook goes with the car.  The clear title reflects the odometer discrepancy. 

The car starts, runs and drives great.  Handles like a new one.  Original Blaupunkt stereo with cassette player.  Dash clock works.  Seats look like new. Power Sunroof functions and can tilt open or completely remove the center section.  I would not be afraid to drive it anywhere.  Clutch feels great.  Brakes are good.  All doors and hatches are solid and smooth.  All lights work.  Power mirrors and windows.  Nice Pirelli tires.  Original manuals included.  The original Porsche air compressor kit, like new, included.  Has retractable cover to conceal packages or contents of hatchback area.  Has original sunroof storage cover.  New floormats installed in 2010 still like new.  Has a new battery within the last 2 months.  There are a couple small paint chips on the front air dam area as can be seen in the pics. 

You could drive this car to a car show tomorrow.  It's hard to believe that this car qualifies for historical tags.  We thought it would be fun but turns out we're pretty spoiled by our automatic transmissions and don't have the time to enjoy it.  It's not being driven at all and needs a new home.    

If you're a Porsche 924S fan, you need to see this one.  I'll try to answer all questions from serious people that know what they're looking at.  Will be travelling some so please be patient if I can't get right back to you.  Can be inspected in Central Ohio by appointment.  Car is located NW of Columbus, OH near zip code 43044.  No joy-rides, but I will get it out for serious buyers. 

Obviously, there is no warranty on the car and it's sold as-is.  $200 deposit due via PayPal within 24 hours of auction end.  Balance due within 7 days by cash, wire transfer, money order, or bank check.  All checks clear bank before vehicle is transferred.

Known Issues:
-- Due to age it is recommended that the timing belt and water pump be replaced.  They also recommend the oil cooler seal be replaced.  I attempted to replace the water pump.  Was planning to replace the timing belt also.  We removed the thermostat from the water pump housing and discovered that we didn't have the correct thermostat to replace it.  The timing belt looked great and though it's supposed to be a simple job, I decided that working on this German metric car was not my strength.  We reconnected the radiator hose, put it back together and left the thermostat out.
-- One of the aquastats that control the electric cooling fan motor needs replaced.  It was stuck ON at one point so the radiator fan ran continuously.  Later, it switched OFF and wouldn't come on.  The fans are good and both run when the AC control is turned ON.  Looks like the aquastat just screws into the radiator end-cap. 
-- AC needs to be charged.  The compressor runs smooth but was not blowing cool. 
--  The gas shock struts that hold the hood open are weak. 
-- There is a stain on the carpet in the hatchback area.  We've not tried to clean it so not sure if it will come out easily or not. 
-- The car has the nice "phone dial" wheels.  At some point, someone decided to scrub them with an abrasive.  They need to be refinished or painted to look bright again. 
-- The windshield washer pump was replaced with a universal pump of the same size and design.  As far as I know, that's the only part on this car that's not original or authentic.
