Wow. I dont even need a 928 and Im tempted to inquire more. I hate it when good deals pass you buy. Gotta strike while the iron is hot. Timing is everything.

Front end bash, no records...sounds like junk to me. Everyone forgets the "no such thing as a cheap Porsche" when they see...a cheap Porsche!?

You folks woul dbe better to jump on this one. Some minor issues, a bad window motor, a couple chips and scratches, and a tiptronic, but only 35 minutes left at $9,000 no reserve and under 100K miles.

Andy - to each his own. Some of us have made quite a killing on "cheap Porsches", depends on your ability to fix that which is wrong. At 7K I dont think there is much room to make a lot but there is PLENTY of room to make money parting it. I would feel too bad about parting one in that color with those options though.

I am starting to really want a 928, better stop looking or I might buy one.

UD, the one you posted is saddled with a liability, f*ng tiptronic. Why did they ever offer that 968 with tip? Oh yeah, to compete with Corvette.

Andy, you should have seen my car when I bought it.

Clutch, rod bearings, and straightening the fender could probably be done for under $2k. That would leave you with a gray 968 with RUF wheels for approximately $10K.
I wish I had the cash available.

For that price, it certainly isn't bad. I'd much prefer a cabriolet model, but then again, in Boston it's pretty impractical. That's a lot of mileage also, but even if it needs work you could easily recoup the cost by parting it out and keeping the engine for another project car or something. . .

Pete:
The color of that 928 you posted the link to is Cassius Red (I think). One of my friend's dads has one this color and the color is beautiful in person.

Like I said ithe 928 looks like a pink champagne to me. It's right next to the two 968's. The Black 968 does look great. BTW they have a 50th anniversary Corvette that the wife loved.

I agree the Tips are easier to find. I wouldnt call it a liability though. Depends on what you intend to use the car for. If you sit in traffic for an hour a day to and from work, Id opt for a Tip. And they are much cheaper. If you want a 6spd youll have to pay for it. If it was my only Porsche I might splurge on the 6spd, but 968 Tips are so affordable now given they were darn near $50,000 cars not too long ago, the best bang for the buck probably does remain the Tip even if it sacrifices a little fun.
