Yup, this is what he sent me.

25 year old cars don't have to pass smog.

1974 is the cutoff for smog testing in California they did away with the rolling 25 year rule......biggest plus of the 16 valve is they usually do not bend valves in a t-belt waterpump event and if they did it is possible to easily remove the heads in the car. Also do not use the cam cover bolts that screws into the head of another bolt (USA 85-86 )which often breaks of in the cylinder head...big question is always odometer readings since part of federalization was an MPH speedo typically reset to ZERO. I believe Carfax does not recognize Euro vins so info is hard to get.

Carfax and Autocheck work fine with Euro vins, but very often there is no mileage information.

Like Jim says, point often lost on Euro sellers is that MPH speedo means true mileage unknown, regardless of what the guy they bought it from told them.

Technically, TMU applies. BUT, I've found the later gray market cars, ca '84-85 (fall off happened around '86-87), were usually imported around the time of purchase. These cars were often ordered from Stuttgart, then directly imported/federalized. By that time, buyers had finally caught up to the import market. They realized what a great deal it was.

The one's typically more applicable to TMU are the '78-83.

None-the-less this is a generalization and not a hard and fast rule.

To get a good sense of wether or not prospect Euro 928 has true miles, you need import paperwork to make sure the model/year matches the import year.

If the seller can't supply you with that, then find the original owner and ask them if they know at what port the car was brought in. The ports often keep record of car's VIN which have passed through. This will allow you to at least match dates.

Listing now gone.

Unless a car has extensive service records, I take all mileage claims with a grain of salt. Personally I'm not too much into the value of low mileage, its just part of the price negotiation.

He's going big time with it next. Expect to see it on autotrader and the like, soon.

Here it is on Autotrader. LINK

Looks like he finished the paint touch-up work he was having done.

A real beauty, if dialed in well worth the money imo. The peak of 928ness.

WP0ZZZ92ZFS841821 has no Calif smog history. Seems like a nice car, but I just don't see even a $10k car with an 85 and 71k showing.

Jadz928

Seller just notified me it sold for $14K

Goes to show folks are still willing to pay good price for good cars.

Now THAT is great news!

And that is where it should be. An un-hacked LH euro is the best 928 there is and this one was a beauty. Well worth it.

There is just no comparison between a Sanford & Son derelect and an always cared for clean example. They ain't making anymore. We've had a few very nice euro's here lately. Nice update.

UncleMaz

Yes, thank you for the update. Nicest 928 I have seen.
