HOLD IT

You have a baby coming in a few weeks?

That would mean it was concieved not long after Katrina, right? When your life was turned upside down?

Good god, man, you're UNSTOPPABLE.

Call me crazy, but I'm going to contact the sellar and get some more details. If anyone in the area would go by and give it a look over for me I would appreciate it. Let me know! Now I need to sell the 84. Any takers?

My Budget is shot for the next month or so or I might consider looking at it too. But should one of you folks lay the money down and decide it’s not worth the time, money & effort to restore or fix it up. Be sure to let me know if you start parting it out?

I tried to reply to the Craigslist listing twice and got back a mail undeliverable message twice. I wonder what is going on.

Yes, we are doing our part in the post-Katrina baby boom

We were trying like heck for our 2nd before the stormm, and after being evacuated for over a month, we "got'er done" when we got back home

BOT: Still wish I could grab this S4

Yeah. When the guy found out his wife had covertly posted his project for sale on
craigslist, he yanked it.

Perhaps he heard from the list how good a deal it appeared to be and pulled the ad and jacked the price? Link's dead for me.

From the buyers post it appears that he is not very familiar with the mechanicals of 928's. Hope he knows what he is getting into. Wish I had seen the for sale ads sooner!

The buyer is a CA area guy named Noah. He was looking for a mechanic in the LA area, so I aked Keith for some suggestions. Sounds like he is prepared to spend the money required to get it fixed.

If he is paying shop rates then $4,000 to 7,000 would not be unusual for a complete top end overhaul engine reseal hoses motor mounts etc. and THEN he gets to see if he LIKES driving the car and if all else actually does work !
