Hi I'm looking at buying a 79 924 2.0L n/a with 71,000 Km on it in Canada, new to the Porsche world and just wonder about any things I should look out for or common problems that may occur. Thanks

One of the great things that I've found about these cars is that so much has been written about them...online and in print. If you google "924 buyer's guide" you will find a number of references.

Here's one:
https://classics.honestjohn.co.uk/reviews/porsche/924/buying/

Some tips here:
http://924.org/techsection/GarageFAQ.htm#buyer

This book has a chapter on buying and restoring:
https://www.amazon.com/Porsche-Classic-Reprint-Brian-Long/dp/1845849779

This books has some good information describing the model year changes over time:
https://www.amazon.com/Original-Porsche-924-944-968/dp/190143205X/

If you find a car WITHOUT a cracked dashboard...IMHO you've found a rare bird.

Good luck.
