Available for auction is this 1988 Porsche 924 S finished in Guards Red over a Light Grey leatherette interior with cloth seat centers. Representing the final model year of Porsche’s original transaxle sports car, this 1988 924 S benefits from the improved engine, braking system, and suspension from the later 944 model. Having spent life in North Dakota, this 924 S was acquired by the current owner out of New York earlier in 2021 and has since received a new timing belt.
This 924 S comes finished in traditional Guards Red and features pop-up headlights, a rear spoiler, and a set of 15” phone dial wheels dressed in Pirelli tires. The seller notes only a few minor imperfections throughout the exterior, additional images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin is trimmed in Light Grey leatherette upholstery with matching carpets and cloth inlays on the front and rear seat centers. Equipment includes a power-tilt detachable roof panel, power windows, power mirrors, air conditioning, and an original Blaupunkt cassette radio. The bottom rear seat cushions are missing and some age-related signs of wear are noted. The seller reports the mileage shown on the 5-digit odometer is accurate, although supporting documentation is not available.
Power comes from a 2.5L inline-four engine derived from the 944, which produces up to 150 HP and 142 lb.-ft of torque. The rear wheels are driven by way of a 5-speed manual transaxle. The suspension and ventilated four-wheel disc brakes were also borrowed from the 944. The seller reports the timing belt was replaced under their ownership within the last 6 months.
This sale will include the original owner's manuals and a clean title. If you have been in search of an unmolested transaxle Porsche, this final-year 924 S is not to be overlooked.

I see red paint overspray on the coolant tank. How much paintwork has been done?
Do you have photos of the rear seat? You state the bottom cushion is missing and it shows wear. Where is the wear area?

I do not see the CarFax shown. I'm assuming the miles are 125k miles due to the five digit odometer, correct?
I do have a few questions.
Can you provide the service invoice for the timing / balancer belt service you recently preformed? I would like to check that the water pump was replaced as well.
Is there any vibration or noise from the clutch or vibration after start up? Can you provide a cold start up to hear the lifters settle or smoke up?
Do you have pictures of the under side ?
These are fun cars!!
