Water pump failed.
Sunroof seals broke.
Various electrical failures.
Cold start problems.
Ripped the oil sump out the car going over a pothole too fast.
Handles beautifully despite limited acceleration and stopping power.
Fairly cheap to fix and maintain these days, and insurance costs are very low.
Despite the derision of some Porsche 'purists', this car is a joy to own, and one that I would be very reluctant to ever sell.
Liked your post. I have a 924 Porsche 1984, parts and maintenance cost a lot, I recently worked the body and interiors of my 924. The engine is working fine and the gearbox never seemed to have problems. The major part was with the electric parts when dissmantling and re-assmbling of such parts, I had a 60 year old mechanic work at it!! got it fixed.
I had a sticker printed with the word PORSCHE at the back after the new paint, I can't remember the size/font and place of the original sticker. Hope you an help me out.
Have a safe 924 drive...
