The problem with selling a 928 in Ontario is that you have to find the right buyer or else it will be tought to sell. Right now is the worst time to sell a sports car, especcially a 928 (middle of winter, right after Christmas when everyone maxed out their CCs). If you can, wait till spring. Put some swithces in the centre console, toss and old radio in it so it doesn't look like someone ripped everything out. The missing front spoiler is a deterrant to the average buyer but if the interrior looks good (centre console is all together) it might get an interested buyer. Don't mention how much you spent on the interrior or the car as it makes the car sound like a money pit. Let the pictures do the talking.

Take some new pics and re post it........you never know. The more effort you put into an add, the better the chance of selling it. In the mean time I"ll see if I can find a buyer for it. Make sure to put "No trades and no lowball offers" into the add too. However, Kijiji will still bring out the biggest morons on the planet, but try to be professional to every one of them as you never know who the real buyer is.

thanks for posting the VIN.
Now why do the interior pictures look like 2 different cars??
One looks nice and the other is the reason i dont like burgundy.
Anyway does this car drive ??
Does the torque tube make noise??
Can it be driven a long distance say 1200 miles as it sits?
What does the interior look like??
How about an engine picture, thanks

The dark interior pic was taken in side a storage building with a phone cam. The 1st pic is more accurate.
The car runs and drives fine, no shimmy or shaking. No growling from torque tube. I don't see any reason it wouldn't make a long trip, but it has been in storage for the most of the last 2 years. The engine service work was done by a shop in the Cali/Utah border area. I may have the paperwork still. Car has 128500 miles. The engine work was done around 127500. I'm going to pull it out of the garage tomorrow and take a few more pic's.

If it is a 5 speed the trans has value if an auto about zero. There are lots of body parts out there for sale do not expect to get much for them....same for used interior bits unless they are very nice ! Plus you need to factor in the time and effort to break the car and what you do with the shell which has zero value may even cost you money to get rid of it ....

I'm pretty sure the car is an 86.5, but I kinda forgot about that detail as I haven't done much with it for the last year or so. Thanks for bringing that to my attention again.

I'm pretty sure it has LSD. Where can I check the option codes? It's a loaded car, rear A/C, chromed alloys, leather headliner, etc.
