Yes, it's Parker's, he said it was going on eBay soon.

Hope it does well.

This pretty well sums things up ..."My "BUY IT NOW" price here locally is 16,800, but my reserve here is lower. I purchased the car 3 years ago for $17,500, and have about $17,000 into it, so someone is going to get a good deal. ... " that totals about $34,500 any way you slice it and it is sitting on a bid of $14,000 !!!

Actually with an end time 4 days away he's doing pretty good! I am willing to bet the car will sell for more than he's expecting.

Here is what I went through to make sure no ebayer but me got this.

1. I called Parker and came to an agreement on price and told him I would be there Thursday(yesyerday). By the way, he is a teriffic individual, and gave me even more than we agreed upon as far as spare pars are concerned..

2. I woke up at 8am Wed and worked from 10-9, then drove 70 miles the wrong way to pick up my cousin so he could drive my car back, then proceeded to drive from mid michigan to southeast Virginia at 11pm.

3. Arrived at Parker's at 12pm thursday. Went over things, signed the bank check, then proceeded to drive all the way back as I have to work Sat. I just arrived home at 2:15am friday

I don;t even know if I can climb the stairs to go to bed. Im so f'n tired I can hardly type.

Oh well, she does look very nice in my driveway, and the exhaust note nearly gives me a boner

Thanks.
As a two time 951 owner, I honestly have love for both. The interior of the 928 is nicer, but I don't like the climate controls as much. The engine is addictive. I love boost, but being able to just leave it in 5th gear at almost any highway speed and have enough low end to get back up to speed is sweet. The wheels are slick looking and set the white off nice, and it was a rub strip delete, so I think the door lines are that much nicer.

Great car Patrick.

I think that car is stunning and the price you picked it up for is a steal.

Wow, I noticed that the ebay ad disappeared but I hadn't heard anything. At least now we know the outcome.

You got a great deal on a really nice shark and were smart to end it early, CONGRATS!

Welcome to the fold and enjoy.

Congrats! 5 sp, rub strip delete, white, bunch of sweet upgrades, excellent maint records, good price (I'm assuming). Wow, great buy.

Good luck with it and welcome to the 928 club. -Ed

If you and your cousin had taken the bus, he could have bought my '87 and y'all could've raced all the way back home!!
