Talking My 1st Porsche928

Today I picked up my 83 Euro 928. The Porsche GODS smiled on me. What a deal I got. 400 mile trip home without a problem. Now to tackle the TT for the Kansas run.

Give John D. a little time to get it processed... it takes a day or two. Congrats on the purchase! Is this your 1st Porsche as well?

Congrats! Sounds like you got quite the deal, man. Take good care of it and it will do the same to you. Welcome to Rennlist, your membership will more than pay for itself within a month, I gaurantee it

Thanks Kevin, I already got some questions answered. If I run into a problem, My brother has probably suffered through it.

Wow. Great price. I have an S4, but I must say, there's something very mature about the older 928's. They're so distinct. I hope to own one in the next few years. This time, it'll be a stick.

$1700? Heck, I'll take two! Sign me up. Just kidding, I couldn't afford to own two even if they were free.

I was like a proud uncle when my bro called me and he was on his way home with his outstanding purchase. More over I was surprised to find out his girl wasn't going to kill him. Now get it up in the air and tackle that TT. What color is my bro's car? Meteor Metallic Blue?

You got it at a steal for 1,500$

That timing belt/water pump job probably cost that...and he met you 3 hours away!

No . . I paid $1,700 for it . . . I was being cheap with the $1,500 offering. I can't wait for the sun to come up so I can go play with my new toy.
