Try this:

Otherwise go to cars.com and search for Porsche 928 - 1991 - in all areas. You'll get three to chose from, one is the one mentioned here.

I was being a bit link challenged last night, and I wasn't sure how much information was appropriate for mentioning an item like this here, but it certainly looks like something a lister should be jumping on.

Original listing is in the Orlando Sentinel Online section, but trying that directly without cars.com in the middle didn't show it for me.

Looks interesting....but it's just far enough away from the west coast to make reviewing the car tedious at best and expensive if you fly and/or look or have a local PPI done. On two occasions, I've had PPIs done on cars at distant locations only have them sold from under me by a closer buyer before I could get enough info to negotiate a deal. On one occasion I was reimbursed and another, no. I'm interested in this car but it's gotta be a humdinger to warrent the effort. If it were a 5-speed and had recent PPI papers already done, leak-down compression test numbers, carfax, etc. it would be much easier to make a quick decision and buy at a distance. As listed, I'll probably not even go to the effort. I think that serious sellers would consider doing these things to facilitate interest and a sale.

I'm considering a GT nearby right now but the oil gauge doesn't work causing me some confusion about the cause. Could be simple...or not.

If this '91 was a 5 Speed & had all that going for it, it would most likely already be SOLD, & most certainly at a higher price than $10,500 OBO, yes??

Yes

Here's the pic of it from the ad.

I hope somebody on the list gets it before some ebay guy grabs it and next time we see it the minimum bid is $15k.

I chatted with the seller ... car's been well-maintained but he says is weak cosmetically. The pics he sent certainly bore that out. He said the original owner was an Orlando Magic basketball player, and he had the car painted a different color and added the teardrop mirrors when it was still new. The re-paint is fading in several spots, the seller says.

So what do you think? I was always taught that given a choice, you'd prefer a car with good cosmetics and poor mechanicals because mechanical repairs "cost less and last longer".

If the respray wasn't done that well, maybe removing it wouldn't be that much of a chore?

There is absolutely no way this one is in my future, but bad repaint good mechanicals LOW price would really work for me. Drive it, make sure of the mechanicals etc., save some money up and drop it at the body shop for a roof panel swap and return to original paint.

OTOH if the paint wasn't done that well, what else might not be?
