Evenin' all.. I've got my eye on a little 924 so I thought I'd better get signed up and do some serious reading!

Hi Buzz
Welcome aboard, I currently have two 924s, great cars for the money.
Don't buy a budget car though, as you'd end up spending more in the long run.

Have you decided on a 2.0L or the 2.5L S.
I have the S but i'm told the 2.0L is cheaper to maintain and easier to work on yourself (if that's your thing)

Do you have a budget in mind ?

Why not pop along to our Anglia region in two weeks time and pick their brains,

Cheers! I've a feeling I'm going to be at a wedding in a couple of weeks time but I'll check it out, thanks.

The car I've got in mind is a 1982 2.0 n/a and has been laid up some time but is reckoned to be solid, I wasn't actually looking for one but I saw it and I've decided to have a punt. It's cheap enough that I can get my money back if it does turn out to be a duffer but by all accounts it could well be a bargain. The hope is I will eventually be able to use it as a daily (when I've not got the kids) so it doesn't have to be mint just presentable so for now it would be a case of making the best of what's there and getting it safe legal & reliable. I can worry about achieving perfect paint etc later. Basically if it's not rotten I should be able to fix it! Anyway if the deal goes through he's going to drop it off for me Friday so I'll be able to tell you more then. Btw am I right in thinking those engines don't have oil scraper rings so they should puff a bit of blue smoke on startup? The first little project will be to change the fluids and get it running so I need to know what to expect out of the tailpipe.
