Default 928S4 on eBay

I'm curious what everyone thinks of this car:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6432

I would think cleaning the contacts and replacing some fuses would fix a lot of this car's problems - but then, is that what he wants me to think? 2Good2BTrue?

there is some work there, but if the price stays low, it's worth serious consideraton. Seller seems to be straight forward regarding the car and has good feedback.

This one is in 928 Forum's neighborhood, but needs a ton of TLC! They seller says he has given up his obsession. I have a hard time seeing that he ever had it....

Steve,
That is a wired remote control to a Sony stereo circa 1992-1995.

I'd be very leery of the audio install. The door panel work is second rate and I'm sure the wiring is a nightmare.

My $9.28 worth

I was thinking about going to check this car out..... I live 2 hours away.

The issues do not seem too major.

Looks like some fuse problems.

Would be a great track car if it wasn't an automatic!

I live in Puyallup, if anyone wants a local to go take a look I'd be happy to swing by.
I like to believe that I know every 928 in a 20 mile radius, but this is one in my own back yard that I have never seen. Reminds of the last time I was at 928 International and Tom asked for my zip code to input into the computer. I saw five names come up in my own zip code, none that I knew. The sharks are out there, some are just hiding.

Hey John, at least it's black.

Just a follow-up - it went for $8500, which seems a little high to me. I wish Hank Williams lots of luck.

Sean......."Looks like some fuse problems" ........ spoken like a true car salesman .....always the optimist ! ...... The fuses on any car really never wear out .....some event takes them out , hopefully before the wires melt together . They might get corroded especially if the flapper drain on the firewall for the wet well at the base of the windshield is covered with leaves / debris and the water level gets high enough to let it pour in the heater blower fan and run all over the fuses and relays.......that would never happen in the Northwest
