Nice looking car. Is it my imagination or are the rims reversed? Looks like the 8" are up front.

I didn't see that. Looks like the pod and dash are in good shape!

That's because it has the engine in the front, which means more weight on the front wheels. Maybe it is one of the few rare ones with front wheel drive!

Seriously, the local tire guys did that on my first 928. The first bump I hit on the freeway produced a terrible noise and left me without the protective coating in the wheel arch on one side...

less than ideal color combo if you ask me, seems like its in nice condition though.

the tire thing is what happens when you have jiffy lube do oil changes and tire rotations, they dont give a crap.

8" wheels up front because it is a front wheel drive car.

Looks clean, feedback is good. I would have seller email engine bay pictures. I wish my dash loked as good as that one. You can see some warpage of the rear interior Qtrs by the back glass. Watch the price and bid what you think it is worth to you. (would you be happier with a 5-speed?)

I have emailed the guy, no response yet. The car is only 45 miles away from where I live and may go check it out.

I talked to this guy at legnth before I finally settled on mine. I can tell you that the guy has money and quite a few cars including a Ferrari. He has kept it maintained. He only wanted around 12K for it when I talked to him 5 months ago. It's a ripping deal if you can keep yourself from vomiting in it... It is a very unfortunate color combo, but for a person who really wants a nice well kept low mileage S4, for 12K this may be too good to pass up.

I had emailed the guy a couple of questions: 1. What was the exterior color name, I thought it might be cassirot red but couldn't really tell by the pic's to be sure? 2. We need pic's of the engine? etc. etc.

Here were his responces;

"david this is Nash with the porsche 928 just to let you know when i replaced the rear speakers i put MB Quartz in i don't short cut my cars"

"sorry just haven't had the time maybe this weekend the person that works on my porsche's will tell you all about the car he knows how picky i am it is really a good car"

"i asked a buddy of mine that use to sell them he thinks Aztec gold the car runs really great i spend what ever it takes to make a car right thanks for your interest Nash Baker"

I will keep all posted if we get together this weekend.
