I looked at a 924.  It was OK, body had a little rust and there was damage
to the drivers side fender (dent above the wheel, paint was off and body
underneath showed either primer or light rust.

When I drove the car: (1) Significant gear noise, shifted fine and had good
exceleration..
                                 (2) Upon parking and leaving the engine
running, a different whining sound for a short time.  Seller indicated that
was a drive train noise.
                                 (3) Engine and underbody showed no rust or
leaks.
                                 (4) Seats torn (have seat covers), dash
top significantly cracked, non standard shift knob, missing rear carpeting
in trunk area and all wheels are missing center caps.

I'd be buying this for a daily driver and project car.  The asking price is
$1,800.

I'm concerned about the gear noise.  Can anyone give me advice?

    Run, my child, run like the wind! Surely you can do better than
this for your money. Hell, I paid 2 grand for my 944 in much better
shape. Keep looking.
