Okay so last night after coming back form a Club, My brother pointed out a Guards Pink(Red) 924. I took a quick glance and I saw a Complete Euro Front Bumper, so we stopped and I noticed it had the rear euro bumper and side reflectors(The Regtualer ones). I went back today to take a look at it in teh day ligh and it looks like it has not A/C, It has Manual windows and No Sunroof, However and some point in its life someone added a Aftermarket Sunroof. So my question is If I where to pick it up How much could I get for the Front and rear bumpers Both are complete with no damage. Also it has the 4 bolt BBS style 15" wheels that are black with a polished lip. Adam Said the car has been sitting outside for aleast a year(We don't drive there much but it noticed it some time early last year) with the drivers window down. But the interior is complete, and the dash isn't that bad . So tell me should I pick it up or just let it rot.

i would look to take some of the stuff off your hands. How much is he asking? You might want it for yourself if it runs well. Nice find

i don't no yet as it was at a repair shop out front and they where closed today. But Since the car has been there for aleast a year probably pretty cheap I would assume. I don't want to start unless i check the bels first. they last thing I want to do is start it only to have the belt brake and bend valves(Or are the 2.0 liters non-infereance)

The regular 2.0L's are non-interference, and IIRC, the 931s are interference. The 2.0 was an Audi powerplant originally. Don't expect much technology!

As a 924 owner, I've got to say they are slow. I fear on ramps.

But the engine is bullet proof and free of any gadgets so repairs are fairly easy. If it has been imported from Eurpope I believe you get better pistons and exhaust compared to the US spec version. I'd try to get the car still though, a 924 is a great car.

Take some photos of it.

well if I pick it up I don't know what I would do with it. I know the 2.0l is a Audi motor and I know they are slow. Unfortuatly the vin take on the dash was missing so I couldn't tell what year it was I assume a 77-78 as it had four bolt wheels and the two spoke sterring wheel. All I need to do it call the P-car dealer where I used to work and see how hard it is to get parts for this car. And yes it is European Which I strongly belivev it is it would have the better pistons and Exhaust. I would still need a place to keep it as I know my Apartment Complex wouldn't want me to keep it there.

Stop using logic.

Buy now, worry about everything else later. Getting a European 924 isn't something that happens everyday, take it while you can.

bjzorn

actually know that I think about it The last time it was registered n Kentucky(Ichecked today by looking at the Plate on the car) was 1997 it had old KY plates in with that sticker on it so its been alwhile since its been driven

Euro 924 isn't much slower than 944, especially compared to US-versions.
Since it has 4-bolt spyder-webs, then it might be 80-82 (or 83-85) if it has 944-style heater controls.
Euro versions don't have vin visible from outside, you have to open up the hood and look either near the right strut mount (-80) or firewall (81-). 924s with 5-speed gearboxes are obviously much more desired

PCA 944

Definetly. 4-speed tranny just isn't enough in a 924.

Your always in the wrong gear....

If you're planning to part it - I'd want to check the VIN, that will tell you if it is indeed Euro-spec. If so, you might get some money for the engine as well. A thread search on 924board.org might give some idea of the bumper value...
