5 Reasons to buy 924 in 2022

[@EstherQuaintmere]

At 0:54 and said Vauxhall when I meant VOLKSWAGEN as the logo that pops up shows! Sorry! I had a dyslexic moment! I have tried correct my mistake but KZbin editor is limited!!

[@GathersNoMoss]

If you hadn't said anything, I would have carried on thinking that it was simply a subtle joke.

[@angelomanns7777]

For a minute I thought the companies merged. Lol. It's ok Esther, no worries.

[@ThomasJoseph315]

The 80's are back? This car was designed in the mid 70's.

[@cliveopperman9505]

I am glad you noticed and made this comment, I was getting my torch and pitchfork out when I read it and calmed down.

[@EstherQuaintmere]

@@cliveopperman9505 LOL glade they didnt come out...for now....

[@GUNPLASHOP]

It wasn't the 911 that always saved the Porsche when it was in trouble. In the 70s, 924, in the 80s, 944, in the 90s, BOXSTER saved them, and in the 2000s, the Cayenne saved them. No matter what anyone says, all models are Porsche as long as they wear the Porsche badge. You know what the 924 was the first to use the name of the CARRERA GT. :)

[@EstherQuaintmere]

Ooo interesting, i just saw a replica CGT!

[@Phipsi333]

also in the 90s the Mercedes E500 saved Porsche big time!

[@jasonrodriguez463]

We inherited a 1987 924s from my parents. They bought it new and has been garaged kept..love it.

[@GarageBiljon]

Keep 'em coming us 924 folks need to stick together 💪

[@EstherQuaintmere]

cheers theres gunna be a few about putting it back together after taking it apart over winter!! LOL

[@dennisbrandtfoto]

I bought mine two days ago 🙏

[@ottojablonka]

924 for life. Just recently bought a 924S and I couldn’t be happier with my choice in car.

[@asymsolutions]

I think the 924S is the only version of the 924 I would own. Knowing the history of it and the 944, even though it was really porsche trying to sell off the last unibodies they had sitting around to recoop something more than what they worth in scrap...well. It felt like the 924 model name was getting the 944 treatment. We know the 944 and other higher trims was porsche getting the clearance to do what they wanted to within reason with the 924, without having to stick to as much VW parts as possible. The 924S feels like Porsche gave the older sibling her dues and let her become a "proper porsche" not just a car designed by porsche, semi-produced by porsche, and using whatever pre built hardware they could from VAG and then rejected by vag for dumb reasons. finally sold as a porsche to recoop the costs. For me, the 924S was porsche giving a car that deserved better the ending it deserved. I'd rank the car as cooler than a base 944.

[@RestorationApprentice]

Great video, love seeing more content on our beloved 924!

[@EstherQuaintmere]

There is going to be a lot more 924 content as I still need to put the dials back in and put it all back together, pass the MOT and then drive it! the list of to do's never end! LOL

[@artmchugh5644]

Want more !!!! Here you go!!!! Enjoy !!😁😁😁🍺🍺🍺🍺 kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4bJm6yGm7N0qdU

[@lawrencegt2229]

I also loved the way you can pop the roof panel out completely - my old 924 came with a sleeve for the panel.

[@captaincoyote1792]

This was a unique and enjoyable video…so thank you! I own a 1990 944s2 Cabriolet. It was a gift to “me” when I made Captain in the Navy, the same year I turned 50. Your enthusiasm for the marque and model is obvious. And you’re right. While I store mine during the winter (due to the New England winters), come spring, she’ll still bring me “smiles with the miles”! (Or in your case, kilometers!). As an aside….very cool VW van! Best of luck to you, in all your future driving adventures!

[@recyclespinning9839]

I had a 924S and sold it because I was too lazy to do some work it needed . I just bought one again, got some learning and a bit of fixing to do, but runs sweet !

[@HotTakeHQ]

Ur channel is criminally under followed ❤❤❤❤❤❤. Wow this channel rules!! I JUST bought an 87 924s black on black manual.

[@MNDashcam]

Just bought one as a project car! Can't wait to get it on the road~

[@austinhedrick1351]

This for sure helped me with possibly going and trading my vw project for a 78 924. I’ve been wanting to get into some road racing here in the states more, and I possibly have a really good deal on a running 78 and a donor car. Thanks a ton!

[@wastelandgarage7837]

I currently have a 84 944 and I love it, its auto, but none the less I love driving it, it is definitely a love hate relationship.

[@timcasagrande944]

Have the 944, love all of the Transaxles so much! Never understood the dislike.

[@myopiniongoodyouropinionbad]

My dad had a Porsche 944 Turbo and a 914 when I was a kid. Both Blinky headlights. It used to scare the crap out of the dogs when they saw the headlights open up. They would run in Terror as if some sort of monster was staring at them. He now has a 924 sitting in his yard that A friend gave him that was destined to a scrap yard.

[@donaljamescaddye3805]

That snobbishness is still alive and well ! I drove from Galway to Cirencester to attend a PCGB meet in my 944 - the 944/924 people stuck to a big session in the student bar and got fed from a chip van outside - the snobs all had a big black tie affair - we had such a good time with really down to earth people and left the snobs to rip the backs of one another 😀

[@EstherQuaintmere]

Wooooooo that is a massivee drivvve!!! The 944 made it? Thats epic!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 love a good chip van and student bar! 👍🏻

[@patfog8676]

Thank you esther nice video Let's preserve our dreams and our nostalgia, let's smile at life and preserve our 924 as long as possible. Préservons nos rêves et notre nostalgie sourions a la vie et préservons nos 924 le plus longtemps possible

great to see the 924 getting more and more love! subscribed :)

[@EstherQuaintmere]

Thank you for the sub means a lot!

[@adamkhan7736]

Cheap to buy. Maybe back in 2022. Since then prices have skyrocketed. For the reasons described in this video and demand.

[@hertzair1186]

Always had a soft spot for the underdog Porsche’s…914’s, 924’s, Boxster ….remember…without these…there would have been no further 911’s…and with air cooled Porsches going nuts 8n prices…the water cooled front engines P’s are becoming more dear.

[@merc340sr]

If the original version of this car had had a larger engine it would have been great. It was not unil 1986 that they added a 2.5l engine in the 924 S. The 924 was nonetheless a beautiful looking car. The original mag wheels were the absolute best looking in my opinion. All other mag wheel versions did not even come close.

[@YINGYANGPOLARBEAR]

Gotta love a car with transactual!

[@NC944er]

Indeed! Even if it is transactually an Audi… or an Audische.

[@YINGYANGPOLARBEAR]

Lol, I sincerely hope you all know that I was being sarcastic lol. Its transaxle not transactual!

[@althejazzman]

Brilliant! Thorough explanations and good facts from someone who has clearly spent a lot of enjoyable hours with a 924. Could you please put up one of those caption thingies for your "Vauxhall" mistake at 0:54 ?

[@EstherQuaintmere]

Thank you glad you liked it, I have tried my best I think it worked!

[@edoardocasagrande4339]

loving my 944 :)

[@RedRoofGarage]

I always had a passion for air-cooled vw(have 2) and recently picked up a 1983 944 but like you said my favorite thing about it the Classic pop up headlights❤ If I can find a decent 924 I would love to have that as a daily.

[@EstherQuaintmere]

Ooo what vw do u have? I have a vw camper and that is intimidating me! Yer the 924 would make a great daily! Mine just needs a few comforts…heating…window switchs being the main ones! 🤣🤣

[@RedRoofGarage]

@@EstherQuaintmere I have a 1969 Beetle turned into a Baja and my other is a 1974(std) beetle that I'm doing g a pan off restoration. I had a 71 Type II bus wish I didn't have to get rid of it 😒. Keep up the good work ill be keeping a eye out for the next video! Cheers!

[@EstherQuaintmere]

so true!! think this is the most reliable car we have! never let us down!! it makes me smile so much when I drive it....however I would like mine few more of the original features back in it currently Goldie doesn't have two working window switches!! thanks for watching

[@patfog8676]

My 924 is from January 1980 I love it. It sleeps with my 2014 Beetle... I love VW Porsche nostalgia But especially not the electric revival that will divide people who will soon not know how to drive or afford a vehicle.@@EstherQuaintmere

Im looking to buy one from this guy soon😊

I HAVE A 924 TURBO FOR SALE IN SOUTH AFRICA

I saw one today at the grocery store and parked my Toyota 86 next to it and thought “twins!” but the 924 has 147hp, so IDK…

[@firefighterps2]

[@deathfanL]

Im glad this video exists and I love the platform. But I much prefer my 944. Practically the same but with wider/hourglass body. Maybe because I am a man lol.

[@EstherQuaintmere]

Lol thank you! Yer i do like the 944 as well….I’m not going to say more just equally the same! Lol

[@bernhardtsuballa5341]

I bought a 1983 924 (2 Liter) in 1986 and still have the car. Pros: -High quality long live car -Easy to repair -Cheap spare parts Contra: -Needs high quality gas (Super plus) -8.5ltr/100km.. a little bit too much -Slow (0-100: 9.9sec / max speed 203 km/h) -People challange you for a race.. -polarizing car (Why did'nt you buy a 911??)

[@KevinSmith-os5yz]

They take a lot of wrench work typically to keep running. The fuel,system hates any ethenol. If you are ok with wrench work, and know your way around an engine, you would probably be ok. If not, stay clear of them. I have had 3, and still have my 81 924, though not running at present, did I mention ethenol?:)

[@EstherQuaintmere]

yer you do have the Porche tax on it i.e just cause its a porche parts are a little bit more expensive, but as Kevin said if your ok doing things your self you will love it! let us know what you get!

[@agrameroldoctane_66]

5 reasons: 1. It's Porsche 2. It's Porsche 3. It's Porsche 4. It's Porsche 5. It's Porsche
