I need a 1980 non turbo porsche 924 engine and I would prefer it newish or as long as it has around 100,000 miles on it and I need to know how much they cost new and used and also for the interior if possible…
Porsche no longer provides this item new (generally, Porsche will continue to offer complete engines for cars for up to 10 years after the car is discontinued – in the case of the early 924s, that would’ve been 1992).
A used engine will likely run in the $1500-2000 range for anything that is in “good” condition, although probably not recently rebuilt. Engines of unknown quality will be less.
As for the cost of the interior – to completely replace all interior items new would likely be $3-6k in parts; good quality from salvage would probbably cut that down to low-mid $2k range (and less if you were to focus on just the items you need and not the entire interior).
Check Ebay, I have seen several engines, transmissions and whole parts cars on there. I got lucky a few a few years ago and picked up a 924 turbo with 26,000 miles on it for about $4,000. There are deals to be had there!
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
