Front Engined Porsche / 924 S

Car is in beautiful condition, Rick! I can't imagine it being too hard to sell at that more-than-fair price! Best of luck on your next project. Hope all is well!

Would be cool if you're just looking for something to do on the weekend of June 6-7 and join us in SLO!  Its a run-what-you-brung event not restricted to 356.

Rick, love this car! Very nice example.

I posted on Spyderclub to advertise here as well, you beat me to it! So just ignore my comment over there....

Thanks much Jim, Danny - sorry I can't make it to SLO this year but I remember several years of great events with you guys - maybe next year!

I don't know this car well.  Would this be a good car to race through the back roads of Wisonson with?  This other group I run with(sounds like I'm cheating) runs a few spirted driving events from May to Oct.  Need to show up in a pre 1990 Euro car.  How much on average per year to keep her running?  The hardtop and big boot would be an added benefit for the long weekends.  Thanks.  

Marty, I think this car would do you well for the events you mentioned. The price of the car is great bang for the buck. I know Rick personally and know he is very meticulous about his cars. 

Marty - thanks for your interest - I'd think for a 'pre-90' sports car group - this one would hold up and keep up well, and as you say, it's got a nice amount of interior space under the 'greenhouse' back window and back seat - I've done drives with the Porsche Club recently - lots of twisty No California roads and lots of more modern Porsches - and this one kept up quite well - left a few Boxster owners shaking their heads wondering how a 27 year old car could keep up with them.  Basic maintainance shouldn't be too expensive - but it is a 27 year old car and even a well kept 27 year old car will have miscellaneous things go on it.....if your handy, and/or have a good local independent Porsche mechanic - you should be fine.

Marty, do it. They are rare and drive like a 944, only slightly narrower. If you aren't happy, you can sell it and not lose a penny!

Marty, I'll drive it back for you.

$4500?  Heck, that's less than sales tax on a new car.  I say go for it.  What are you replacing it with, Rick?

Tom - The plan is to find a nice 06 or 07 Boxster S to fill the soon-to-be emptied garage space.....I had a '98 Boxster and enjoyed it for 12 years - an 8 or 9 year newer 'S' seems like a good next 'fun' car  - it still won't be quite as much fun as the '02 'Beck' 550 Spyder Replica I had from 2005-2012 though - ......Rick

Monday morning and it's still available - I'll post when it sells.....

Craigslisted now at:  http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/cto/4461263588.html

AC blows cold (fixed today)

SOLD!

replacement car.....5/29

09 Boxster S Silver/Black - not quite so attention getting as a Speedster or Spyder - but it should be a fun car......RickJ

Be aware of the ims bearing failures

thanks Alan - very aware - there's no IMS bearing in the 09 and newer models, though......I'd originally targetted a 2006-7 range....then moved it a bit 'forward' to pick the 09S - has direct fuel injection and 310 hp - RickJ

Congrats Rick.  I'm still toying with selling my JPS coupe and picking up a boxster.  Where did you end up finding yours?

Tom - I found mine on Craigslist - SF Bay area has lots of Boxsters for sale at any given time - I'm sure LA does too....I sent you a 'dialog' message here with a bit more detail and some other suggestions.  I'll bet you'll miss that attention that the Coupe grabs, though!
