There's a 928 I'm interested in. It's in Anaheim, California and I'm in NJ. Can someone near there take a look at the car for me? Please PM me.
Thanks,
David

+1. It's in one of the best places possible to get a really thorough check and have any issues fixed properly before you collect it.

Yeah this has the potential of turning into a field trip

This weekend is a big GTG of 928 freaks in Anaheim. There should be lots of experienced eyeballs to look at this car for you.

Thanks for the suggestions....I can't get the car out/over to do a PPI. I need someone to go to the car. and look at it on location. I can get it looked over by Greg after I "own" it.

Only two shops in the area do any serious amount of work on a 928, one of them much be where the car gets serviced, ask the owner where they take it for service. That should reveal a lot about the car that eyes wouldn't.

Guessing its not a cheap car that wouldn't be worth shipping cross country, so it puzzles me you would consider buying it without having Greg inspect it first, nothing local I am aware of is so bargain priced a PPI could be skipped.

It's being sold by a dealer. No "owner" to talk to.

I can go tomorrow AM if you PM me info. I am not a 928 expert but I can check the basics since I've rebuilt/ modified a few BMWs.

Sorry, one 928 per lifetime. You've had your allotment.

Didn't take you long to get back in the fold.

Hey Doc. Lol. The Petrol Blue I sold to Tim was my fourth 928!

I know, six months is a long time. I guess once you go Shark, you can't go back. Ha ha.

I love the Ferrari, but I'll always have a special place in my heart for 928's.

We'll see if this next 928 pans out though. That being said this time I'm looking for a pure driver. The last 928 was too nice to drive as much as I was.


Quick Reply: Anyone live in Anaheim, California? Can you look at a 928 for me?
