Default Finally found a 928

Found it in the Autotrader on Friday advertised as a GT. Called the owner and it sounded like a good deal over the phone but it was not a GT. It still sounded like a heck of a deal so I Jumped a plane to New Mexico and was there by 7:00PM that same day. Next morning she brought it to my hotel. I expected the usual electrical glitches or possibly a rough interior maybe some oxidized paint. I was dead wrong. This car was in great shape. One door ding about the size of a dime, beautiful deep glossy paint, one hairline crack in the dash that you can barely see, and that’s it. I bought it and drove it back from Albuquerque, NM to Houston, TX about 1200 Miles didn’t use a drop of oil or coolant the whole way. Averaged about 22Mpg. I love this car!!!

Sounds like a real POS - sell it to me now for $9k and avoid the headache this car will likely be.

I'll give you 7 grand and throw in my 1971 Pinto Actually, based on what you've written, it sounds like a good deal. Good luck.

Take it to Paintless Dent Removal and have the door ding removed and then it will be worth $11,000.

Piccardo-she could at least make some sandwiches while you are signing the title Have fun sounds like a good car at a good price. Check the service history (if available) for recent TB replacement.
