Tell him "Don't do it"!! Maybe buy a 928, own it for a bit, fix whatever it needs, than if you are happy with everything, try to make it a DD BUT don't buy one to be a DD right away or else it can end in dissapointment.

White leather interior, WOW. I would be scared of that. I'll bet it was pretty when new. There isn't enough info or pictures to determine a value IMHO.

Wow, that car is sharp. IMHO if you can find a nice car that NEEDS NOTHING, and you want to drive it everyday, it is worth what you are willing to pay. Not a penny more.

$9K is CHEAP if it's as good as shape as he is stating. A $6k OK one will be $12k before you know...

I am normally not a fan of white, but the pics really sell it well!!

Hell ,it maybe DD ready now...

I have to finish putting my center console together tonight. Have him get some pics of the engine and interior if he doesn't buy it.

Sorry I didn't catch this earlier Mark.....
I saw this car months ago and when he was advertising it as a "Real Euro".
I checked it out and passed - The owner is a nut! His parting words to me were "you probably couldn't afford a 928 anyway"
