Mike since your tossing this one out here,
would you mind answering a few questions?
What are you looking for? Project or driver?
Will you be turning wrenches or paying to have it done?
What will the car be used for?
What is your spend budget and what is your reserve repair budget?
What specifics are you looking for OB S4 GT, auto 5 speed, 6 speed, turbo???
colors? interiors? options?
By answering these question others may be able to assist your search.

GLWYS for a new 928

GLWYS for a new 928
Im not looking to buy a project ( I have a Lotus Elite for that), but I dont expect to get a car that needs nothing ( I am buying a 928 after all).
I will for the most part be turning wrenches.
The car will be used as a weekender/toy.
I dont really have a budget . Its more of a matter of what Im willing to spend. I could afford to spend $70K on a perfect car if thats what I chose to do but I have better uses for that money.
I want an auto(never thought Id say that) and prefer an S4. A nice OB is not out of the question.
I dont like red, dont care for black exterior .
I dont like burgandy or blue interiors for the most part but I have seen an immaculate burgandy that I could live with.
My wife is undergoing cancer treatment and I told her on the way home from not getting this car that I would suspend my search for a while. If I happen upon a great example around Atlanta I will go check it out but the nation wide search is off for a while.

Ok thanks for answering these questions .

I think your right, your wife is the most important thing to focus on.

I hope that she gets back to perfect health

When your not looking is when the right 928 will show up

Sorry Michael. Try this one

Facebook Post

The one I was trying to send you is the 88 with 51,000 miles. I have seen it and it is all you would expect from a car with that mileage.

Well that link does not work either

It is a closed group on FB called: Porsche 928 Parts Buy Sell and Trade

You may want to search it out.
