I imagine you're aware, but the '87 S is basically the 944 in 924 body trim, so parts and even a whole engine can all be had for pretty cheap.

LMAO i just told my little brother (27 years old) to look up a price for muffler bearings, he actually sat down on google searched and came up empty . If i didnt tell him hed search all day

Ooooffff. Walk away.

That is a money pit that has been beaten to death.

For less than you'll spend just getting that thing on the road and reliable you could buy one that already runs AND has decent paint.

What you are looking at there is a $500 parts car.

Dang, I should have changed my muffler bearings when I had the exhaust out for the clutch job; oh well they will jsut have to wait until next time.

A computer/scanner is really only helpful for diagnosing the flux capacitor on these cars…

I can have it painted for free at my cousins shop, What apart from the body tells you its a money pit

um.. Its a 924S

the $500 you pay to buy it will become the cheapest thing you ever spend on it the whole time you own it. Plus its an Automatic which means diminished performance. I wish you luck and can appreciate your willingness to jump in on a project..

but are you buying it because its $500 or because you want a project or because ? ? ?

General condition. If it looks like that, you're gonna have to replace everything rubber on it.

But that becomes more palatable if you can get it painted on the cheap, so maybe it is a deal for you.

I bought a disaster that I towed home too, so what the hell do I know?

Yes, it's my daily driver now, so it can be done. I painted it in my garage, and if I wasn't willing to make a paint booth and do that it wouldn't have been worth it.

EDIT: I missed the part where it's an automatic. Run away.

Sadly, I will agree with the last two comments... This car will cost you $10k in the next year or so.

Recently Said: All 944/924s are $10k cars... Spend it up front or while laying underneath it... My is close to $12k! yikes...

and lastly: Auto sucks

However if you buy it, We will support you fixing it! Keep us posted

My .02 worth: Auto tranny in these cars are not great,have been there done that.

These cars can be expensive, but not too bad if you can do two things:

1. Do most (preferably all) the work yourself.

2. Buy a parts car (if your space permits)
