For Sale here is an EXTREMELY clean 1988 Porsche 924S. It has 26K miles showing and the title says Exceeds Mechanical Limits and the odometer is working. It is factory equipped with leather interior which is almost flawless for 26 year old car. It has AC and it does work, the heat also works along with the power windows and passenger side power mirror. I cannot figure how to open the sunroof but it does have one. It is missing the radio and antenna, the gas tank was dropped and cleaned along with the lines and fuel pump was cleaned. The paint has no rust anywhere no scratches and only a few rock chips and minor dents. There are no signs of rust repair and I have looked up on a lift. It runs great and it is a rare automatic which has new fluid in it along with a fresh synthetic oil change. The tires are like new all have about the same wear. The lights work and come into place correct. The car runs and drives nice, it is bone stock. No check engine lights or mechanical issues. The car is 26 years old so things like the hydraulic shocks on the rear hatch and hood need replacing and the wiper blades. This is a used car and is being offered with no expressed or implied warranty The Porsche 924 was a luxury sports car produced by Porsche AG of Germany from 1976 to 1988. A two-door, 2+2 coupé, the 924 replaced the 914 as the company's entry-level model, and was the model that finally retired the 912. In production terms, the 924 was the first Porsche model powered by a water-cooled, front-mounted engine although the similarly configured 928 was designed first. The front-engine, rear wheel drive arrangement was normal for most other manufacturers, but it was unusual for Porsche having previously only used mid- or rear-mounted engines of a boxer configuration, all of which had been air-cooled. It was the first Porsche to be offered with a fully automatic transmission. The first official appearance of the 924 took place in November 1975 (as a press launch rather than a motorshow appearance) at the harbour at La Grande Motte, Camargue in the south of France. The model was a success with just over 150,000 produced (from 1977-1988), and it not only helped to take Porsche out of financial ruin, but created the revenue stream needed to continue building and developing the 911. The 924 was replaced by the 944 (also a successful model) in 1983 in the U.S. market, but continued to be produced until 1985 for other markets. For the 1986 to 1988 model years the car acquired the powerplant from the 944 model and became the Porsche 924S. In 1984 VW decided to stop manufacturing the engine blocks used in the 2.0 924, leaving Porsche with a predicament. The 924 was considerably cheaper than its 944 stablemate, and dropping the model left Porsche without an affordable entry-level option. The decision was made to equip the narrower bodied 924 with a slightly detuned version of the 944's 163 bhp 2.5 litre straight four, upgrading the suspension but retaining the 924's early interior. The result was 1986's 150 bhp 924S. Porsche also decided to re-introduce the 924 to the American market with an initial price tag of under $20,000. In 1988, the 924S' final year of production, power increased to 160 bhp (119 kW; 162 PS) matching that of the previous year's Le Mans spec cars and the base model 944 (itself detuned by 3 bhp (2 kW; 3 PS) for 1988). This was achieved using different pistons which raised the S' compression ratio from 9.7:1 to 10.2:1, the knock-on effect being an increase in the octane rating, up from 91 RON to 95. This made the 924S slightly faster than the base 944 due to its lighter weight and more aerodynamic body.
