The multicolored engine bay suggests the seller believes the beat of his own drum is best.

Does anyone make 22" spinners in a Porsche bolt pattern?

Well not the windfall you were hoping for, but it did sell and for more than your reserve I believe. But now you have to change your avatar again. Don't want to be that guy who keeps pictures of his ex in his wallet.

Hoi's S4 up for auction at BaT

http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1989-porsche-928-s4-5/

Yes at least found that one person who wanted it. I lowered my reserve during the auction when the bidding was so sparse, so wound up settling for the $13K. Is that guy @coco some sort of shill bidder? He bids all over the place just to drive up prices, and he helped me out as well. What if he wins?

Congrats on the sale safulop George Harrison's 928 also sold:http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leeds-39308004

Well good to see you sold it. Was really holding out that you would get more.

linderpat

Glad you sold it. A good buy IMHO; maybe the miles scared people away? Hard to say, but within the range you were putting out before the BaT listing.

What next? Another shark?

I had done the same thing on ebay. I asked the seller why the front was so high. I suggested to adjust the front suspension to bring it down. He told me to **** off and never contact him again.

Yeah I mean, this car sat for months on the Bay Area craigslist, listed twice at $16K obo, and not even one contact. So, I can't be too salty about the price. The odd thing though is that the guy who won the auction is from the Bay Area where it was on craigslist since November. ?

I do think there is a little bell that rings when the mileage is greater than 150K. It is a real stigma, except in the realm of cars that are so old that the only running examples have all been fully restored (e.g. 60s muscle cars).

At this point in life, I am through with these old machines. A great time was had but, I'm out. I already bought myself a nice fast Maserati sedan to go around in, we will see how long that lasts.

Agree with your sentiment regarding taking car of these old machines. I continue to love the marque, pashionately, but it sure is damn expensive and discouraging to keep these 928's in perfect condition if you can't do the maintenance yourself, like me. Solution is to find an honest mechanic who is proficient, honorable and fair on price. They are definitely in short supply. I have only found one, Colin J. who unfortunately is located near Vancouver. Alas, wish we had his clone in the New York City area.

For me it's a bittersweet moment to move on to a more modern car. Ironically enough my Maserati has already cost more in catch-up maintenance and repairs than I ever spent on the 928 in a single year. But I didn't really change cars to get cheaper maintenance, I did it for many reasons including possibly *easier* maintenance (because it has diagnostic systems on board and easier access to parts for the shop) and modern luxuries. Like, gone are the days of checking my tire pressures with a gauge, now I just hit a button and read the monitoring system. I also won't have to do the math to track my mileage, the car reports that for me. And the A/C is actually adequate for a hot area like Fresno. Etc.

But you never know, maybe the grass just looked greener from somewhere else, and I'll be changing back before long.

Doesn't look too bad for something that can be purchased under $2000.
