I like the fact that 88's are worth more than 89's!!! I'm not biased since I own one or anything! Hmm own a 928 for a long time AND make a profit.....unlikely, but would be very cool!

For what it's worth, John Dunkle asked for 928 market data on August 26, 2004 on behalf of Bruce Anderson. He asked people to be polite to Mr. Anderson. Do a search for 928 market update and it will pop up. I can't figure out how to drop the link in here. Sorry about that.

Just curious, when do most people receive their copy of Excellence? It is now a full week past when RDS928S got his and my copy has still not arrived. Is RDS just a lucky dog or am I late in the mailing cycle?

Mine hasn't arrived either.

The issue of where these values come from has never been fully addressed or answered. Especially when it comes to the later cars, the GTs and GTSs. I doubt that enough of these cars are sold in any one year period to accurately publish a market price. I know for a fact that many GTSs have sold well above these prices and I also know the sales were not reported to any agency that might compile the numbers.

I don't envy Bruce's job on this one and again this year, he is not even close to accurate. I think the values are nothing more than SWAG and nobody should put much stock in them, unless of course you're a buyer or selling an 87 or 88 model.

......and show me that 92 model please. Must have missed that one...

Right, I should have been more specific and said "if your a buyer of the later cars or selling an 87 or 88."

Wonder if the rest of the car is as coroded as this appears to be.

I missed that, does anyone remember seeing or contributing to it.
Yes, he contacted me via email quite a while ago.

Of course, my '85S is worth maybe $35k or $40K??? Oh...I'm sorry...he meant to ask what it was WORTH?...nor what I've put into it, plus an inflation factor? Sorry guys.

He really did contact me once but it was many months ago. Nice guy...trying to be very objective. Gets prices/values from all over.

This is quite confusing.
1)..I thought there weren't any production '92 models produced!??
2)..Where's the S4's?? ie: 91 and 91. ???

There was a full run of 92 GTS models (first year of GTS), however because the price had gotten so high, and the North American dealers still had not sold thier 1991's, Porsche did not send any more 928's across the pond until the following year. This makes the 93 seem like the first year of the GTS, but it was not.

There is a couple 92 GTS that have made it over from Europe.

In North America there are two versions of the 1993 MY GTS. Like you say, the first version sold in 1992 (technically a 1992 ROW) in North America has a different VIN than the later versions sold in MY 1993. In fact, if I remember correctly the 93 GTS I owned (#PS815132) was actually built in 1991. The early cars sold early in 1992 when the industry was selling 1992 models, have a VIN that ends with PS815xxx and the models that were being sold when the industry was selling actually selling 1993 models ends with PS820xxx. So really there is a 1992 model 928 in North America Porsche just didn't call it a 1992 but did by virtue of its VIN designate it as such...... sort of.

[edit] here is the breakdown: 93 GTS listing page

What I find truly amazing about these numbers, if their real, that you could have invested $6500 on a '78 four years ago and could have made $4000 profit on it!

That's better that the stock market let alone the crummy banks, plus you get to drive your money around while it's growing! How do you beat that?
