Congrats! Would make a hell of a movie trailer. "Miles and time kept them apart, but destiny brought them together. Some called it love, others called it mecophiles. Coming this summer, from Paramount pictures, the story of a man from New York and a Porsche Nine Twenty Eight.”

I'm sorry-did you say something? I was too busy staring at your classic avatar to pay any attention!

Please-you have to get paid! I was glad you had any time to talk at all. Good thing you were doing an oil change so all 3 bays were in use!

Be in next week and let me know if we should do a get together next Sunday.

While you are at Walmart, pick up enough Dexron VI to do the fluid change...

Wally, how many quarts for 91 S4 Auto?

EDIT: Sorry-I'll look up now. Only had iPhone with me and wasn't sure if I was heading to WalMart tonight. 6 year old vetoed it after a minor league ball game and go-karting. Now I have time to check and make my shopping list!

Michael,

Congrats on the purchase. I can't believe you've been watching this car for nearly 2-1/2 years before buying it. That is some patience you have my friend.

Is the NYC get-together still happening and if so when? Maybe I should be resurrecting that thread. Anyway, would love to see it and meet you and other NYC 928ers.

86.5 928s Blk/Tan Auto
85 928s White/Burg Auto (Sold)
00 MB CLK430 Blk/Blk (DD)

They also did not offer it for sale until December of this year when I was just 2 months into a new job and still being recruited to relocate...thankfully the market was soft for this car and I knew it's history. Also having gone through one less than exemplary ownership experience I learned the hard way about its value. (Note to anyone reading this thread-if you don't know the history and don't get a PPI then be prepared to spend more than what you spend on the car in service).

I do think the values are now on their way up for good cars as they are fewer and further between.

Thanks! More than patience-timing. When I thought I was definitely relocating I decided to sell before investing more in the car I had a nice 89 S4.

I just updated for 2 possible meets on the next 2 weekends.

Michael
