is the highest you'd recommend buying a 928? I'm interested in a 1987 with 115,624 miles.

do you recommend. and if not what should a buyer look out for.

Andre Hedrick

Bought my first with more than 100K miles
The second has 206K kilometers
The third with 178K still running strong with 192K+

Rob Roy

I am at about 192k on my supercharged 88, still with excellent compression numbers (although I always panic every once in a while when something minor fails and my first thoughts are it is terminal)

laneskelton

My car has 188,000 and it still runs strong

SeanR

Bought one at 146k and the other at 121k. Love 'em.

mileage is not an issue on these cars, the engine in one of mine has over 300k

I think the more interesting questions is "what is the highest mileage you've ever seen on a 928 on it's original engine?"

It is not so much the miles but what was or was not done for all the miles ...

richri929

would you recomend the 928 in the link?

blown 87

And maybe who did it also.

I have checked this out in person- no rub strips . They show the mileage on the window as 400,000 or something like that.
Absolutley no history available for this Shark from the dealer. Interior looked pretty warn, dash was heavily cracked, paint was a '5' at best. I would not buy it without checking for TBF and finding out which mileage is right.

There is no way to know anything about that car just from the add. Are there any service records, is the carfax clean , no salvage title ?does it run ? has it been painted and how well? does the A/c work ? Lots and lots of questions but the asking price seems low unless it needs $10,000 of fixing to be a decent car ! Have you ever owned a 20 year old car before ?

Jim bailey - 928 International

Given the eyeball report I was too low on the $10,000 potential for repairs....run screaming the other direction

pmotts

I agree.

Ok I just looked at the link... My dear friend, that car looks horrid. I understand you would like to get an S4 fairly cheaply and fortunately you can get very nice ones now in this current economic confusion. Take a look at these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Calif...QQcmdZViewItem

They have no reserve price, they are far better accounted for and you might get one at a fantastic price and well worth the plane ticket.
