Default Your Bilsteins Need my Car

I'm trying to save a few bucks here fellas....

I'm looking for a set of Bilsteins for an '87 S4 that you bought and didn't like.

So now you need to sell them to me, capisce?

I'm gonna make you an offer youse can't refuse....

I want low mileage units, per favore.

cool i'll sell mine for $950

FYI, used, old, worn out bilstiens can be sent to the manifacturer and be rebuilt by them and have custom valving put in for between $50-$65 each. Used Bilstiens have a high resale value because of this. If you want Bilstiens, then I suggest you just buy new ones. I would be surprised if anyone was selling a used set for less then $400-$500 because of the rebuilding that can be done by them.

Good luck though.

Maybe someone is too lazy to rebuild them and just wants some beer money!!

Will my one pair of new Porsche part #928-343-055-06-M12 (part # on the box) Bilstein front shocks fit your year model? These are stock units which i purchased new a few months ago and never installed. Pelican Parts, a wonderful source for Porsche parts at fair prices, sells these for $299.25 each ($598.50/ pair) plus shipping. I would sell these for $425 plus shipping.

David,
You could look up the part number on Pelikan to see what they fit.
