Vehicle Detail

I have owned this 924 for around 4 years, and bought it as a project to fix up and drive on weekends for fun. I am selling it because I have medical issues that prevent me from further working on the car. The car gets compliments, looks good for its age, and is fun to drive. It's not the fastest car, and it's an automatic, so it's better suited for Sunday drives than the racetrack. It does handle corners well, however. The paint is faded and the clear coat is wearing off on the roof, but is not noticeable until you are close to the car. There is one area of rust in front of the passenger side door. This is a list of some of the things that have been done to the car since I have owned it: New front brakes and calipers New muffler and exhaust work Aftermarket stereo with Alpine, MB Quart, and JL Audio components. Custom sub box replacing rear seat (the back seats in these cars is really a joke) New (refurbished) Alternator New (refurbished) Starter New fuel pump. The car had new tires on it when I bought it and they are still pretty new. It has had the engine replaced (by previous owner) with an engine from a like year and model. The car was maintained well by the previous owner and engine work was done by a professional shop. I have had the brake and exhaust work done at reputable local shops. I have stored the car in a garage during winters. I haven't been able to drive or work on it due to health issues and it has recently been taken out of storage after sitting for a year. I had a mechanic check the brakes and the fronts are still new and the rears have been adjusted. It runs well. The only issue is that the aftermarket alarm (installed by a local shop) is not functioning correctly. The immobilizer circuit isn't functioning correctly and has been bypassed. The rest of the alarm is still connected and either needs to be repaired or removed. I have driven the car over the last couple weeks a number of times up to 30 miles at a time and it runs fine, but with the alarm installed and not working correctly, sometimes you have to disable the alarm numerous times before it will start. For this reason I wouldn't attempt to drive the car regularly until the alarm issue is sorted out. If you intend to drive the car home, I would at least have someone in another car follow you home. A great resource for 924 owners is: http://www.924.org/ A Haynes manual and wiring diagram for the alarm will be included along with whatever paperwork I have on the service history. A couple things that should be mentioned: *The vacuum accumulator for the EGR valve is leaking so it has been bypassed. This does not affect how the car runs, but if you need to pass an emissions test, you may want to repair the leak. *There is a push button installed to manually activate the cold start valve/injector. Sometimes this injector shuts off before the car has warmed up and you may need to activate the circuit if you plan to use the car in cold weather. I have not had to use it, but have before it was installed had to wait the 15-20 minutes for the valve thermostat to reset before I could start the car. The switch just bypasses the thermostat and activates the injector. *In heavy rain, the seal to the sunroof will leak if parked on an incline. It doesn't seem to pool when the car is level. Disclaimer/payment info: This car is being sold as is. I have explained the condition of the car to the best of my ability. This car is 36 years old and I am not providing any warranty of any type.
