Porsche people be like: Quote Accidentally got a partially disassembled 924S Special Edition This is my first post here, so I'll keep it short for now. Earlier this week I was in a bar in a small town in the Rockies with no cell service and ended up buying my first Porsche from a guy in the Midwest. I'm back home now and the car is on a trailer heading my way. I have no idea what is wrong with it, but there are definitely things wrong with it. The cam tower has been removed and the cam is sitting on the floorboards of the car with some surface rust. The distributor and timing belt seem to still be in place. I'm sure some things are missing (possibly parts of the cam tower and the valve cover). I also have no idea why the engine was partially disassembled, but I'm assuming the valves impacted the pistons and possibly worse. I'm hoping the rest of the car's mechanicals are basically OK, but that might not be the case. 1 Link to comment

In my experience it depends on if you’re willing to walk away from the bike. If you are smitten by the bike/vehicle, the dealership fees tend to be a bit more concrete IYKWIM. And obviously, how big a demand is for that particular unit. The TT probably has a very small audience. Link to comment
Lowndes Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 This is a deal, if you like that kind of thing. Where the hell is this place Vermont, anyway?? I've hear'd of it.

Darbarian Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 A longstanding wish list item, this '76 Bonneville looks good on Craigslist. Researching, I found it was the first year of left-foot shift to meet USofA federal demands. 1976 Triumph Bonneville 750 - $4,500 (Missoula) https://missoula.craigslist.org/mcy/d/missoula-1976-triumph-bonneville-750/7726785005.html The recently acquired R90-6 owns the space in my motorcycle stable that the Triumph would have to fit in. I don't wanna give up the vintage Beemer, though price-no-object I'd do it in a blink. 1 Link to comment

wbw6cos Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 That is why I pinged him. Oh, the humanity. Also, one might be able to save on tax and may be able to negotiate, a little. What number whould you offer, or buy it for? I know it sounds like I am low-balling, but I would go $19,500. (if'n I were in the market.) 1 Link to comment

Had alot of interest might have gotten a little more but not 20k. I had over 6k of farkles on it. The used bike market is shit right now and a 23 takes the highest hit on price.

I sold my 2000LT two and a half years ago for $1000, but it had 223,000 miles, and it just got too big. This is a decent deal for the right person, after checking on final drive issues. Nice find.

szurszewski Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Even if the fd is toast it can be rebuilt or replaced with a good used unit for well under a grand, and it’s a pretty simple job to remove/replace. Still cheap! I bought a 1999 for $3k, hung a sidecar off it and put 40k miles on it over a couple of years. Sold it for what I’d paid for the bike + chair + mounting hardware + shocks. Those folks had it a few years and sold it on to someone else for a little more. I expect it’s still going strong. The engine and transmission were still smooth as ever. that’s be a great bike to buy for a coast to coast ride and cheap enough to walk away and fly home if something expensive broke. 1 Link to comment

Try lifting one off the side stand while sitting on it. If feels heavier than any HD I've ever ridden. 1 Link to comment
