Default 88 S4 one owner $13,950?

Seems like a nice deal

It looks nice. Are you a bidder?

That does seem like a nice deal to me, too. The mileage is pretty low, and it looks pretty much stock, so I might be slightly concerned about deferred maintenance items and things breaking/crumbling from disuse.

I tend to think that cars that have been used (i.e. driven regularly) get more attention than sitters and tend to have fewer problems. That's the used car gamble, of course!

It looks like a decent example (altho note the leather comming off the steering wheel - not a big deal). Color is very attractive. The price for an auto seems about right, plus there is a 1000 mile warranty being offered (find out what that is and what it covers, since you may be able to have a good ppi done post-purchase and rely on the warranty to recover if something serious turns up). Worth a closer look...

I'm not bidding, I have a similar car with 20k less miles.
I am always checking for a GTS at the right price though, that's when I ran into this one

I love the granite green - and there are very few nice greygreen interiors left! Hope it finds a good home!

Not worth the extra $$$$ premium over a higher mileage 928.....a properly maintained 928 with 150K miles will run just as well as a pristine 20K mile car....that also has been maintained right, the high mileage car will run better if the low mileage 928 has been parked forever..

Take a look at the 91 with 3900 miles....this gives you all the features of the GTS, airbags, traction control....without the price..plus its a great color!

I would never rely on carfax as an only source. Too many errors with them.
