How long was the 996 4 sale?

Shark Attack

Lots of people have been asking about the rebuild. It was done by European Performance in Natick MA at 123,000 miles. A high res copy of the invoice is available

Some parts it included
Crank
Rings
Head rebuilds and some valves
cam chains and tentioners
water pump
Total bill was just over $10,000.00
Parts total was 3700
labor was the rest.

At the same time He had a whole other plethera of things done. The invoice said, Fix anything broken... The other "broken" stuff came to another few grand

Sweet looking car. I had some work on my 924S done at European Performance...in all their white lab coat glory. They spoke derisively of 928s when I asked their opinion (I was on the hunt at that point) but they did have some onsite, apparently for service.

LISTEN! I had a 99 911, do not purchase without an extened waranty. 55k and the thrust bearing failed and it was "new motor time" $13K. I DID have the waranty. I will have another 911 someday, but it will be a 06 or later.

On the other hand. I would never sell my 928.....
Best of luck.....Rick

Things happen.... Thurst brearing failure in the car doesnt seem that common. I think you are a little paranoid considering it wasnt even a common fault of that engine. I am looking in to warranties. But I think I am going to spend the money on the upgrades that help prevent the common problems. After much research I learned the IMS failure happens to 10% of the cars and I feel these issues can be addressed with proper precautions. Much like our beloved 928's

Spend some time on 6speedonline.com and reserch the problem.....

If possible try to keep the 928 and add the 911; the best of both worlds!

My old wheels look great on your car! Best of luck with the sale, I understand wanting to try something different. But I would still advise against the 996. For the $20k or so you'll spend, you can get a really nice Carrera that is a MUCH better car.

The 996 is here and I like it so here is a bump for the 928

I'm sad to lose you as a member of the 928 community, and wish you both fun and luck with the 996.

Hopefully, your 928 will find a good home. I remember some nice rides I got in it in Napa Valley when it was here, and always thought it was special - partially because of its rare and beautiful color.

The car is fantastic. if it wouldnt cause WWIII at home I would certainly keep it. In fact I felt sad last night as I pulled the 996 in the garage. I felt like it almost new and was heart broke. That car has casued me 0 headach in the 3 years I have had it. I went over and talked to it for a few seconds.Kinda like Nick Cage to Ellenore..... Yeah I'm a freak sometimes. That car has kept me sane through hard personal times. I spent a lot of time under her making her right again.
