Never have I seen a clock like this in a 924 is it a 944 item.

The front strut Seller is Automobile Atlanta, no surprise that the item is misrepresented.

Yeah, Iv'e heard some bad stuff about Auto Atlanta.

I have ordered A LOT of stuff from eBay, but have only come across one misprinted item (but I was able to return it thankfully).

If I ever come across any bad deals and such, I'll be sure to let you guys know.

why would someone buy only one strut? Shouldn't shocks be replaced in pairs?

It irks me when someone lists part for a 924 and 928 like a steering wheel. If they weren't too lazy to check the part numbers, they would see the parts are not interchangeable.

Anyone ever buy a set of "IGGEE" seat covers off of fleabay? They look good, only $70 plus shipping, and have thin foam added to the underside of the cover. Not just a thin mis-shaped generic cover, but one that looks like it actually might fit. Can't seem to want to spend $200 on OEM looking covers, would rather spend that on engine and body parts.

Look pretty good, right?

I once saw on ebay some Martini and Rossi versions of these kind of covers.

Love em!! That's what I'd really go for. My 924 is orange, but that red on the inside would be close enough. Are those from IGGEE on ebay? I looked yesterday and all their $69.99 covers are gone, now they are all $179.99 Grrr Going to the local pick and pull today because I see they have in now a 944. Maybe it'll have some seats I can pull.
Thanks for the pic.
Captain

Look at this 924. Nothing special, just "low mileage," which is the truth, but she ain't looking the part so much, also the PRICE.

She's got rust and dents, a really bad sound system install, and the interior is very dirty. I don't see this car selling for more than $3000, maybe.

I'd pay no more than 500 for that.

Diamond silver metallic, nice color when fresh, but gets "vintage" looking rather easily imo.. same original color as my 78. that one is allot of dollars , and the auto.. correction EARLY auto... try finding a dampner for that box.. scary.. their trying to get museum quality prices for something that is far from it. i like the car, it has allot of pluses, but not almost 7k worth of ++... i think $1800 would be a stretch for it..
