89 5sp for sale
89 5sp, White/Navy, 164K miles, Very good condition. Looking for a quick sale at $10,500
As some here may have seen my previous posts, I got a great deal on this car in almost running condition.
I just got done with: motor mounts (Porsche), oil pan gasket, intake & cam covers refinishing including replacing all WYAIT's (vacuum lines, flappy, knock sensors, throttle switch, hall connector, cam chain tensioner pads, crank sender, fuel lines, cleaned injectors, etc.) I also replaced one if the ignition control units which was causing the initial problem. The car now runs & idles excellent and I'm sure could be driven across the country (though, of course, it's a 20 yr old 928- so no guarantees).
The body on this car is very straight & the paint looks excellent after fresh polishing & waxing (Rejex). The only issues on the body are the bumpers- they are straight, but the paint is showing it's age & the front bumper has a couple of fairly deep scratches. Also, the pass. fog lamp lens is broken & the front spoiler is damaged.
I would rate the interior as very good with the only problem being the drivers seat bolster. There is one very small crack between 2 of the defrost vents.
There is an aftermarket stereo & it looks as though at least 2 of the speakers have been replaced. A/C & heat work as they should.
This car has Bilstein/Eibachs and an adjustable front sway bar riding on 17" Cup wheels and handles very well. The brake pads are at about 1/2 and the braking is excellent, though a little noisy.
Timing belt/ water pump were done at 147K & retensioned at 149K.
I have documentation from the previous owners & this car was extremely well maintained with literally tens of thousand of dollars in receipts. The last owner happened to fall in with a mechanic that didn't know 928's (fortunately he only owned the car for a couple years & about 12K miles). This is how I ended up with this car- I wasn't in the market, but was offered the car at a ridiculously low price. This is my 3rd 928 ownership, though unplanned, & to be honest I figured I could make a little money & pass along a nice car at a reasonable price.
I have many more pics & can take any as needed.
I would like to keep this car as I doubt I'll come across another deal like it, but now is not the time for me.
PM or email & I can give more details and answer questions.

That has got to be one of the nicest 89 5 speeds at that mileage and price!! Sounds like a lot of good freshening was done too. If I didn't have my wife's 1989 928S4 auto in pieces at the moment I would be all over this one! The 1989s are a bit special in my book.
Good luck with the sale,

Wow that is a killer deal considering the maintenance is done!
If I hadn't just bought a new DD I would seriously consider this for track duty.
