Porsche 924 Submodels
The Porsche 924 was a bold move, introducing the brand's first front-engine, water-cooled production car. Initially a joint project with VW using an Audi-sourced 2.0L inline-4, it offered balanced handling and practical hatchback design. Later models like the 924 Turbo (931) and the Porsche-engined 924S significantly improved performance, while the rare Carrera GT stands as the ultimate homologation special.
For years, the 924 was an overlooked and affordable entry into Porsche ownership. That's changing as collectors appreciate its classic 1970s styling, driving dynamics, and historical importance. The 924S is particularly sought after for its Porsche 2.5L engine, offering a driving experience closer to the 944 at a lower price point. Special editions and low-mileage original cars are now seeing significant value increases.
The market for the 924 is broad. While driver-quality base models remain accessible, the average sale price of $16,300 is heavily skewed by pristine examples and rare variants. The 924 Turbo, 924S, and especially the Carrera GT command premium prices that reflect their performance and rarity, separating them from the more common 2.0L cars.
Buying Tips
- Check for rust in the sills, floor pans, spare tire well, and especially under the battery tray where acid can leak and cause serious corrosion.
- The dashboard is notorious for cracking in the sun. Finding an uncracked original dash is rare and a significant plus.
- On 924S models, the 2.5L Porsche engine requires a timing belt and water pump change every 3-5 years or 30,000 miles. A lack of service history is a major red flag.
- Test the pop-up headlight mechanism. The motors and linkages are a common failure point and can be tedious to repair.
- Inspect the torque tube for noise or vibration, as replacing the bearings inside is a labor-intensive job.
Prices range from $660 for project cars to $261,000 for top-spec variants like the Carrera GT.
