Would this be an S4 perhaps?

This not a GT if it is an automatic as it states in the ad. Still a nice low mile car.

Hmm, I thought just the GTS models were all 5spd...?

Sure would help to see this one from the rear, eh?

Appears to be Coral Red, which is quite rare. Combined with the low mileage (if true), would make it a steal at that price, IMO.

EDIT: From Chuck's registry- http://www.928registry.org/1991-928s4-0091.htm
Interior doesn't look as clean and crisp as I would expect for a car with only 3,900 miles.

No doubt. I don't wish to imply there was anything fishy going on, but would use ordinary due diligence if considering a purchase to make sure the visual clues match the stated mileage.

Certainly worth a look if you're in the market, as it could have collector potential.

I believe those are reflections. Very nice S4.

My bet is that the digital display was changed and the mileage was never adjusted. Caveat Emptor.

A car with miles this low may be cosmetically nice, but could have a lot of disuse mechanical bugs to attend to and have early mechanical failures once put into regular use.

Great color, but I like velvet red better! It doesn't look super clean in the pictures like a 3900 mile 928 should.....it all goes back to my old motto of "do I think this 928 could beat mine in a concours?" Answer is NO...... That plus having to replace so many rubber bits scares me

My bet is on a replaced digital cluster. 3900 miles + whatever from before.
Not to be a pessimist, the 928 is always half full.
