Hi,
I'm new here, so thought I'd say hello.
About a week ago I bought this:
It's a 1983 Porsche 924 - a Lux, I think I'm right in saying - and I'm loving the combination of balanced handling, retro charm and everyday usability.
Technically, it's my second 924, but my first one - a 1988 924S - was some time ago and I didn't have it for very long. The aim is to keep this one long-term and use it as my only car once I've sold my other toy.
It's generally in pretty good nick (in fact it's probably the smartest car I've owned cosmetically), but a few issues have come to light already: the brakes are pretty feeble (even by 1983 standards - it feels like the fluid hasn't been changed in aeons); the battery isn't quite holding charge I don't think (starter feels rather laboured on cold starts, but okay when warm) and I think the front right wheel bearing is going (there's a graunching noise and a bit of rumbling through the steering under heavy left-hand cornering that you don't get when driving more sedately) ... so it looks like it'll be keeping me busy. But I love it.

I sold my 924 years ago but I've still got the haynes manual. If you want it, drop me a PM with your address and I'll post it to you. Your car looks in great condition, so once you've cured the issues it'll be a good one.
