I am looking for a 928, between years 84-87, and between about 50k-90k miles. Vehicle must be in USA, and at least 49-state emissions compliant. This is driven largely by budget constraints. FI must be at least L-jetronic in evolution. If you have one for sale or can direct someone looking to sell, please contact my email address:
m_j_pate@maranatha.net

I will send you my requirements and limitations. If yours is a special or highly upgraded example, I don't want to waste your time. I have a budget and am looking for a well maintained stocker. Again, please refer to the information that I will send you. There will be no sense in beginning negotiations unless you feel you can work within my constraints. I'm in no rush. If your requirements don't match my budget, feel free to advise me as to what you need. I doubt this will develop into a near term negotiation, but this might bring us together in the future, depending on how things develop.

Thanks

Mike Pate

You filled in the Title line which is more than most do. If we read the title and open it you are not wasting anyone's time. why don't you list all parameters here?

Search archives for sellers. Autotrader.com, 928gt.com, cars.com, parcars.com and bad ol ebay (buyer beware).

he'd rather have everyone, who thinks of selling his car knock on his door so that he can pick
a nice one
have a look at the classifieds here or at eal bay.
with a little bit of effort you will find, what you're looking for.

That's so bad?

Well let's see. Based on what I discern reading the forums, non-prepurchased inspected acquisitions are for those who enjoy parting with cubic dollars. Difficult to arrange that kind of front end work with an ebay deal. But knock yourself out.

Good point. I paid for membership yesterday and received confirmation. Will find out why I'm identified as "user"

There are ways to do it. Contact the seller and ask if you can make a bid contingent on a pre-purchase inspection. Wait until the car does not sell and then contact the seller and make an offer based on a PPI. Bid on cars within driving distance so you can go see them in person. Or, ask this list or do a search for preferred 928 mechanics and then find the one closest and arrange for a PPI with the shop and seller while the auction is still ongoing.

All are possible, and especially necessary when looking on eBay.

Thank you sir. This is pretty much what is contained in the info that I would send out. Plus limitations (budget, vehicle related). Everyone’s busy, and no need to start negotiating when there is no means to an end.

BTW: I had heard anecdotally that members contacting ebay sellers was frowned on by ebay. Could not find reference to this in ebay bylaws. Any knowledge on this? Thanks

leperboy

Completely not true. Actually, you are encouraged to contact the seller. There is a "contact the seller" link, and the seller can post the questions posed to him, along with the answers in his listing.

You may want to browse eBay and find out what it's about.

You can ask questions of anyone selling something on eBay. For eBay motors it's expected and you are also encouraged in many of them to go see the vehicle before the auction closes so you can make an informed bid.

Whoops Matt you beat me to it.

I'm fast, Mike. Even my wife says so.
