Default 2nd 928 S4 In 5 Years, Do I Have Issues?

Yeah, saw a 1989 928 S4 with 80,000 miles on sale in OKC. Decided to pull trigger and had a friend who ironically lived there. He checked it out and said it was okay. Sent me a few pictures and they looked good. Rented a car and left Thursday morning at 5:15 from El Paso with my good friend Andre. Stopped for a 18 ounce steak at The Big Texan in Amarillo, stuffed at the stomach we head to OKC and got to destination at 6:30 PM.

At first car didn't look like it did in pictures, looked weathered and tired. I hesitated about pulling trigger and then took it out for a drive with owner. Felt good and strong. Came back, haggled on price after pointing out some things it had. Got $1,000 off the price( I won't mention price).

Drove away to Twin Peaks in Edmond, OK and watched Bears get spanked by Packers. Having had some beers I started thinking if I had made a bad choice. Went to bed at a friends house who happened to live in Edmond, and I went mimi's thinking about my doubts.

Next morning(Friday) had breakfast and then headed out by 10 AM. Once on the open highway things completely changed in my eyes! WOW! What a beast! Thing has ridiculous amount of power! I would open it up a few times here and there and thing doesn't hesitate to get to 135 at all! Made it home last night at 10:15 tired and ready for bed by 11 after a good shower.

Car has been owned by 3 people including me. Original owner purchased in 1988 from Dallas, kept it till 2014. Then sold it to owner I purchased from and now its my turn. I have original window sticker, manuals and some extra items.

Car is a bit beat up from Sun. Leather is dry and will be taking care of that in the next day or two. Will buy a car cover for it and just have it sit for a while till I'm done doing my 87's engine rebuild. Just decided to get this one since I liked it.

Here are some pictures.

Excuse what I'm going to have to do but my PC/iPhone only lets me put one pic per posting. I don't know why but I'm not in mood to trouble shoot.

Enjoy the next few postings of pics.

And here is where you discover how awesome tired single stage Guards Red paint can be made to look with a little elbow grease.

A 106 lbs man, well I know some will say he's not because of his weight but little devil ate 72 ounces of steak! I had a hard time with 18.
