1988 Porsche 924 S Mileage: 124300 Title status: Clear Price: $2900
The Good: This vehicle was purchased several months ago from the original owner The previous owner used it as a daily driver for his wife so it was well maintained Recent new battery A/C works as do all other engine accessories Higher-output 944-based engine compared to the earlier 924 non-S Already a classic; this was the last year of production for the 924 S so it had more power than earlier S models Suspension and other upgrades from the 944 model were installed from the factory Excellent weight balance front and rear for superb handling Extensive service records are available and to be included with the sale of the car Tires are in great shape. They are mounted on the factory “phone-dial” wheels. Comes with two Haynes repair manuals
The Bad: Hood and trunk struts need replacement There is some rust on the car, especially the rear valance and near the rear license plate Paint is faded in some areas Handbrake is in-operable Wipers work but do not switch off completely sometimes. I suspect a bad switch or relay Cracked dash Passenger window switch on driver's side is intermittent May need timing belt/balance shaft replacement. Previous owner said it was done but he did not have documentation to prove it
I am selling this car for my friend and coworker. I can meet you in Oak Park, IL during non-business hours. Feel free to contact me using the information below.

Here is a brief summary on these cars from Wikipedia:
“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.”

Paul Walker's accident due to 'speed, and speed alone'
Thu, 19 Dec 2013Following an investigation into the crash that killed Fast and Furious star Paul Walker and driver Roger Rodas, an unnamed law enforcement source told the Associated Press that there were no signs of mechanical failure on the Porsche Carrera GT that was destroyed in the accident.
The report from The Huffington Post claims the officer in question blamed "speed, and speed alone" in the fatal accident. The same report ruled out the presence of debris in the road, which may have caused Rodas to lose control of the V10-powered super car.
Engineers from Porsche are traveling to California to investigate the accident with the help of the Carrera GT's on-board data recorder. Until then, investigators won't speculate on the car's speed at the time of the wreck.
Porsche stalls on Ferrari 458 rival
Mon, 17 Nov 2014A few years ago, reports surfaced that Porsche was planning a new supercar. But the latest intel suggests that the plan has been put indefinitely on the back burner.
The project alternately referred to as 960 or 988 was put forth by CEO Matthias Müller shortly after he assumed control of the German automaker. It called for a mid-engined V8 supercar to slot in between the 911 and the 918 Spyder to take on the likes of the Ferrari 458 Italia, McLaren 650S and sister-company Lamborghini's Gallardo and subsequent Huracán.
Now three years since the idea was first mooted, the vehicle has yet to materialize. According to Autocar, Porsche is putting a greater emphasis on refreshing its existing lineup. Which is probably just as well, because the mid-engined supercar would have a heck of a challenge on its hands to differentiate itself in terms of performance from the 911 GT3 and 911 Turbo, which already give the 458 and company a run for their money.
