Do any of you guys have a 86.5' or newer for sale, I prefer a manual. I want something nice, something that I do not have to tinker with anytime soon

Thanks

If you buy a 928 you will have to tinker. Period. These are complicated sportscars. They need very careful services and IMHO the only realistic way to own one or more is to work on them constantly, even if it's just ficing little things and changing oil.

+1 H, and they are also + 20 years old... even when you think it is all sorted out (or replaced) there are no guarantees!
How much $$$ do you have to spend on this "something nice that I do not have to tinker with anytime soon" dream car?
Oh and how well it holds up is proportional to how it is driven and cared for.

Come on now, I know there will be basic maintanance and what not. I am looking for something very well maintained and always repaired/fixed/modded correctly. I have owned a couple of 928's and they were always very good cars, that's why I have an itch for another. I have also owned several 911's, a heavily built 930 and currently have a 600hp 965, they were all done correctly and have been pretty damn reliable

Hmm you’re a "user" w/333 posts and have owned/own several Porsches but can't spring for a rennlist membership... come on now.

^I have to pay to be a member to search this forum and ask for leads on a 928, that's pretty assanine

Actually WTB (Want To Buy) posts are not allowed unless you are a paid member per the TOS. In before Randy kills the thread.

Oh wait... there's a guy over on the Pelican board who will find you the car of your dreams for a small finder's fee.

Wow...well, that's the real trick now isn't it! Best of luck finding a properly maintained 928. Most PO's are complete idiots and don't take care of their cars, and this turns them into expensive nightmares. A truly good car is going to be expensive, and will still require maintenance now and then.

My advice would be to contact the big 3 and ask them if they know of any near-perfect 928's that are on the market. And be willing to travel.

Be careful- most of the drivers in Memphis are awfull!

ChristianR

Who would that be?

Look for a guy going by the name "Slow Miler" or something like that. He usually finds "pristine" GTS's, but I'm sure for the right buyer he'd find anything.

^Good Lord, does it bother you that much that I am asking a bunch of 928 enthusiast/gurus if they know anyone that may have a 928 for sale, sorry for stepping on your toes, I will look else where

Peace

I did not say that, you can "search" all you want; IMO the title of your post is miss leading on a technical forum.
It could be more appropriate for you to actually “find” a 928 and then ask if anyone here knows any of the history on your prospect.

fell right into that one.

I will sell you my nearly perfect Euro for, lets say, 30k? that sound good to you?

Whatever man, leave it alone
