Porsche 924 reliability?

Just curious on how reliable these guys are.

found a decent condition 1978 one for 3k. been maintained well.

I know they don't have a Porsche designed engine, I believe its from audi? is that bad, good?

will the timing belt be expensive like other Porsche's (944's)?

pros/cons?

It will be a daily driver, and I would like to do most small stuff myself.

I drive about 15km back and forth from work/school everyday! (highways!) little bit scared

Thanks!!

as long as it's been maintained well, and you are willing to get a little dirty working on it. they are reliable cars, but can be a bit tempermental if not taken good care of. the timing belt job isn't all that difficult, if you have some mechanical ability. it just needs to be done properly. the engine is a good one,again, if it's been maintained. 3000 sounds like a good amount. buy it, have fun with it, learn about german engineering.
