As a matter of fact, I renewed my old membership about 3-4 days ago. But apparentely, there's a waiting period even for previous members, so it's not official for 3-4 weeks. I feel like I'm joining a country club or something.

The Redwood Region is 928 friendly. We routinely have four 928's paticipating in our auto-crosses (6 at our last event). I'm a 1 term past VP and 2 term past Pres. of the region. We've got something going on just about every weekend.

If you're unhappy with your local region - change it - or join a different region. Things are run by people who show up. If you don't contibute anything, you've got nothing to bitch about.

You should have bought this one that I ended up buying for 25K. It was on Ebay a couple weeks before I approached the owner at $25K. Way underadvertised and with tons of unmentioned X and Y codes, as well as that factory rootwood shifter.

I made her immaculate, and pulled $32K out of it. I'd say it was worth it. i had to fix a pan gasket leak, clutch bearing, severe detail job, plus other miscelaneous items. Great car at the end though. Would have been perfect for you at the original $25K.

Like I said, I'll let you know when I come across something that fits your profile....................free of charge, of course.

Munfred,

Why not just go for an extra 20-30,000 miles and pick up this rare GT for $15K or probably less! Hit the guy now with a low CASH offer and tell him you can pick it up immediately. Most people will go for this type of strategy. They prefer the quick bucks, and don't want to take a chance on not meeting the reserve, or selling to a non-paying bidder. I think this looks like a pretty decent GT. It's red (third most popular color), it's an '89 GT (most popular year), and most everythings already been done mechanically. Do a very quick PPI if you feel the need, but move fast, or this ones gone! Good luck!

As a matter of fact...........................I don't. But I do have an easy concours winner, '87 red automatic S4 with black leather, heated seats, lumber, platinum anodized wheels, new Michelin Pilots etc. and only 28,500 miles for only $24,900! It is a varifyable 1 owner car, all original, complete and just plain absolutely stunning!

Brand new timing belt, water pump, tensioners, torque tube, tires etc. All service history since new. Possibly even the original window sticker.......he's still looking for it.

Oh, and a wiiiiiide open title as well! Save thousands over buying from an uninformed dealer.

Just an offer of what I've got right now. Exceptional car!

Low Miler - Sounds pretty much like what I have now, except for the mileage, but thanks for the thought.

Maybe it's just that there are so many more of them and the club is just following the money. I'll reserve judgement on the other guys until I've spent some time in their company but I doubt I'll renew my PCA membership if there isn't at least some more dedication to the 928 in the future.
Yeah, my fear was I would spend $40 for a PCA membership just to find that there were 2 billion 911s for sale and one automatic 928 in bad condition. By-th-by, my dad had an orange 1970 Karmann Ghia--awesome. I loved playing with the heating control levers between the seats.

Looks like a good buy--miles are a little high but all the big replacements have been done in the last 10k or so. Could be a good first 928 for me.

I think this would make a great first 928 for ya! Yeah, the miles are a lil' high, but that just means he's already had all of the expensive, preventative stuff done.

And I can't tell you how priceless that is. $15K could be spent in no time bringing one with less miles and lesser care up to the same specs.

Anyway, I wouldn't hestitate on this one, my friend!

Well, if your not in a hurry, the soonest I can get you any pics would be when I actually pic it up next week. Will that be a problem?

I mean this really is a 99 point car!

The comments on the 928 Registry indicate the Red '89 GT looked "tired" six years ago when it had 85,000 miles on it.
