Details |
| This 924, serial number 450804 is here on consignment from a Porsche enthusiast who lives in Jacksonville, Florida. He is up in age now and feels it’s a better decision to sell his cars rather than continue to store them. Hence this amazing 924 is for sale. |
| 450804 is here at our facility. It has been inspected and is ready for the next owner. |
| 450804 was delivered new at Tom Carsten’s Porsche dealership in Tacoma, Washington on December 12th, 1981. |
| The original owner was an engineer who purchased 450804 as a fun car to drive only on occasion. That original owner sold the car to a Porsche Club member in 2003. 450804 remained in Washington state. |
| During the Fall of 2009 our seller (the current owner) found 450804 advertised in the Porsche Club of America Panorama magazine’s classified section. Through an absolute "small world" coincidence our seller and the second owner worked for the same nation company. |
| Our seller purchased 450804 on September 10th, 2009. The odometer reading was 27,032. The car was transported to our sellers home in Jacksonville, FL. |
| Our seller has owned 450804 for 17 years. |
| In 2023 our seller took 450804 to a high-end automotive upholstery shop to customize the interior. He points out that the interior did not have anything wrong with it…he just wanted a more flashy 80’s look interior after owning the car all those years. The upholstery shop changed out the seat center panels and the door panes with the matching colors paid material. |
| The seller points out that he kept the original black inserts as proof nothing was wrong with the seats prior to the reupholstery. |
| Included in the sale is the original window sticker that was laminated to preserve it. |
|
| Also included in the sale are the original owner’s manuals with the maroon Porsche plastic pouch. |
|
| Then there are the original sales brochures that have been transferred through all these years from the original owner. |

Driving Impressions and Opinions |
| ◆ | The car starts right up - no hesitation at all. Turn the key and instantly the engine is running. No need to pump the pedal or do a rain dance to get the engine started. | | ◆ | The engine sounds great | | ◆ | The transmission shifts great - very smooth shifting - no creaking noise when pressing down on the clutch | | ◆ | To reiterate, the paint is 100% original all around the car | | ◆ | The interior is clean and is a non-smoker car | | ◆ | The suspension feels very solid | | ◆ | Absolutely no slop or play in the steering! | | ◆ | Excellent brakes - no pull to one side or the other when the brakes are applied. | | ◆ | The car has a very solid well-kept feel to it | | ◆ | We some have service records | | ◆ | Clean Carfax report - no accidents and the odometer readings are verified | | ◆ | NO DASH CRACKS!!!! Sorry, I usually don’t shout word in all caps…but this is a very important quality of 450804. | | ◆ | Two sets of factory keys |
|
| Overall this is a very impressive 924 that’s never fallen into the wrong hands. You can tell that it’s always been properly maintained and stored. There is a difference. When 924’s become ’investment grade’ 450804 will be amongst the ones at the top of the list. |
| Low miles, window sticker, no dash cracks, service records, factor keys x 2, original paint, brochures, and it drives awesome. |
| My name is Andrew Hennesey, I am the Dealer Principal of Hennesey Automotive Group. I’m very attentive to answering questions. Give me a call at (941) 587-2081. No…I won’t try to force anyone to buy a car. |

Price |
| This 924 is best suited for a picky collector or enthusiast who that knows it’s rare to find 924 in such good condition with true low miles. It is not suited for a bargain hunter budget-oriented 924 buyer that would best be paired with a high-mile example which has been repainted, no history, deferred maintenance, etc. With that said, the seller is not expecting the moon, but he also knows when an absolute low-baller is pecking at his door. |
| We will present any reasonable offer to the seller and get you a quick response. |
| This 924 is here to sell, we do not overprice our cars to have them sit around forever. |
Bid here on eBay or make us an offer by calling;
Andrew (AJ) at (941) 587-2081. |
| With all the respect I can give each bidder, we will not answer the quirky-weird question “what’s your reserve”. By the way…here on eBay is the only place we’ve ever gotten that question. NEVER EVER has any bidder on any other ‘auction’ website asked us “what’s your reserve?” Can you imagine a bidder stopping a Sotheby’s car auction and standing on his chair shouting out “what’s your reserve?”. |
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS CAR, THEN PLEASE PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL ME. I DON’T BITE, AND I NEVER PRESSURE ANYONE INTO BUYING A CAR. I’M NOT A PERSUADER, I’M A PRESENTER. MAKE ME AN OFFER, THEN WE DO A DEAL OR NOT. I’M ANDREW (AJ), MY NUMBER IS (941) 587-2081. |
Please do not hesitate to email or call me with any questions that are important to you for making a purchase decision. I am happy to do a WhatsApp walk around call, Skype call, FaceTime walk around or Facebook walk around. I try to be as accurate as possible with my descriptions here, however please understand this is a summary of my opinions and not an inspection report. I am not an inspector, but rather a “describer”. My description here is a quick overview of the car, I do not get deep into small details here because I expect interested parties to communicate with me by asking questions. This is not like a click of the button like an Amazon purchase; this is a process that requires strong communication between the two of us ~ you and me. I want people to know exactly what they are buying before they buy it. If this is not the car for you lets together make that discovery BEFORE you buy it rather then afterwards. I am available by phone, email or text up until 9pm every night. My goal is to have happy customers all around the world and nobody upset. I want to do the best I can to help you. My name is Andrew and I can be reached at (941) 587-2081. The car is here in my warehouse in Sarasota, Florida. Feel free to call me if you would like a shipping quote as well. I do not use a middle-man or broker to ship cars ~ I deal directly with the trucking companies. That way I get to interview the drivers and ask about their rigs. I make sure the drivers are suitable to handle my customers’ cars. I’ve had shipping nightmares, so now I’m in full control. I will find you the BEST transport company. I’m old school ~ I like it when buyers call me and we chat about cars like back in the day when we only had classified ads (for those who remember that). My philosophy is that buyers need to know the car they are buying before buying it. In my opinion one or two questions via text or email is not the way to get to know a car. The information in this eBay post is a vague summary. It is not an inspection report. I encourage you to have a professional third-party inspector inspect the car for you. I am not an inspector, nor a mechanic. I’m a marketer. Again, please call me at (941) 587-2081 if you REALLY want to get to know this car. I will do my utmost to answer all of the questions important to you for making this important purchase decision. My name is Andrew and I am a part owner of this small boutique low-volume car dealership. I do not have any hard-selling sales techniques and don’t worry…I’m not a hard-selling used car jerk. |

Note for Serious Buyers ~ over the past 11 years we’ve had HORRIBLE experience with running NO RESERVE auctions on eBay. Horrible because NONE of the winning bidders followed through. The most LAME excuses ever, like this one; “my cat walked across my keyboard and inadvertently must have bid on your car and won”. What a load of ****! A cat would have a better chance of winning the lottery than hitting the right keys with its paws to win a car on eBay. The most common excuse was ALWAYS “yes, I bid on the car to win, but after the auction ended my wife told me I can’t buy it”. Again, what a load of ****! LAME! Dude…ask your wife before completely wrecking my chance to sell a car. We’ve loved eBay since 2004, but we blame them for not having strict rules like Bring A Trailer and the OTHER auction sites. Each time we called our representative at eBay after a looser won our no-reserve auction, the rep would say “well, we are very much geared towards making buyers happy - if they don’t want the car, then they shouldn’t have to buy it”. I say bull***! eBay is not a REAL auction company. They can go ahead and read this - what are they going to do…fire me? Seller fees keep eBay in business! We pay a monthly fee to eBay, they never get a chunk of each sale. Therefore, we stopped running NO RESERVE auctions about five years ago. Then, we put low reserves on the cars, and guess what…the same thing happened! “My son was playing on eBay and bid on your $115,000 Ferrari, I guess he won it.” “He had fun, thanks!” What a load of ****! Tried the Buy-It-Now method and the Make Offer method…same thing. The ‘flake ratio’ was about 95% flake, 5% real buyers. Can’t sell cars with ratios like that. So, now we just use eBay like classified advertisements. Allow me to repeat that; WE USE eBay ONLY LIKE IT’S CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENT. But, there’s no way to publish our price. That’s why we run it as an auction with an unattainable reserve. That’s right, our reserve on this car might as well be a trillion bucks…no one will EVER reach it. Why?….because we have come to the realization that BIDDERS ARE NOT BUYERS, AND BUYERS ARE NOT BIDDERS. Real buyers pick up the phone, call us, we tell them the price, they make us an offer, the deal is done. Poof…no games. Just like classified in the 1980’s - the buyer calls the seller, the two talk, a deal is done or not done. This is why we ask people to NOT message us with the question: “what’s your reserve”? |
