Increasingly as some of our childhood (or, adulthood) heroes get priced out of sensibility for weekend warrior on a budget status, there are still some bastions of hope for the shoestring enthusiast. One of the best must undoubtedly be the underrated Porsche 924. As Sciroccos, GTIs, 944 Turbos, Quattros and the like take off in value, here lies a plethora of well-cared for, well-built and fun-to-drive cars that have good parts accessibility, reasonable repair costs and surprising amounts of practicality. Sure, it’s ‘just’ a 924, and Porschephiles will probably poo-poo your choice. So, too, will most of the rest of the automotive world. Their loss is your gain. Try as they might, outside of some very special 924 Carreras, these models that helped to keep Porsche afloat in the 1970s and 1980s still haven’t caught on with collectors.
So here’s a late ‘early’ 924; the clean design that kept the lights on at Porsche. Certainly it’s worth a look?

When you’re talking a sub-$5k classic Porsche, most people probably assume you’re talking about your most recent repair bill. Not the case here; sure, a proper air-cooled rebuild can set you back a pretty penny, but this entire 924 won’t. The color isn’t listed and it looks like it might not be the original paint, but I think this car was Lhasa Green Metallic when it left the production line. Coupled with the tweed interior, spoilers and mud guards, and ATS alloys, it’s a smart-looking car. It’s also got air conditioning which is claimed to function! Sure, it’s a bit rough around the edges. But it’s also $3,200. And it’s a Porsche. Seriously, Fuchs wheels sets trade for more money than the asking price here. It’s hard to see how you could go wrong.

nice first sports car for someone…I never liked these when they were new, except for the 924S…but a good starter.
This is one of those “should I get a NA Miata (89-97) or a classic 924? Miata’s are everywhere, 924’s are more rare. Miata’s are obviously more reliable and cheaper to maintain but lack the quirkiness of a 924. The 924 was the BRZ,FR-S, AE-86 of the 70’s and 80’s. Widely considered “underpowered” but universally praised handling and balance. Albeit much more expensive in it’s day than a BRZ.
