Due to many reasons, I have decided to part with my 928. The information I have gotten off this site has been invaluable so I wanted to give everyone here the first crack.

It is an '88 5-speed and has approx. 101k miles( i havent checked the odo since it was stored last winter) but the odo works fine.

Grand Prix White
Black Leather
No LSD


Interior is easily 9/10 with no dash cracks and excellent leather.
There are some stone chips on the front chin, and I plan on touching those up this week.

This was Parker C's Car and I bought it from him in 2008 and have had zero issues since. He had an extensive maintenance history and I have continued that history the best I could.

Timing Belt and Waterpump done shortly before I bought it.
Also

Motor mounts
Oil Pan gasket
Various seals replaced.
New ignition wires

Last year I did Front Rotors and Pads as well as new amsoil diff fluid.
This year I retourqued some oil pan bolts, and replaced all the power steering hoses, and a new reservoir. Replaced the alternator belt and cooling hose at the same time.

Put new Ate Super blue through the brake and clutch system last week as well as a full coolant flush (thanks Dwayne for the awesome write ups).
Brand new Pilot sport 2's on 18" BBS Sportclassic 2 wheels. (rears only, fronts are in good shape still) $630 for 2.

Rear A/C blows nice and cold, front is not quite as cold.

There are plenty of more receipts from the last 3 yrs that I can go over as well.

PPI's are welcome at your expense as I am minutes away from Okemos Auto collection (local dealer) and am off Thursdays and Fridays to take the car there.

I plan on listing on Ebay next week expecting to get approx. $15k for the car.

I would sell it to a lister or acquantance of for 14K.

I am not going to give this car away. 5 speeds are not easy to find and I dont plan on missing any payments, but decided to move on.

I will post pics later today or tomorrow.

Good luck with the sale. Price seems fair for that car; it sounds like an excellent speciman.

Apparently there is someone here in Austin who bought a 928 S4 5spd (88 or 89) w/o first consulting this group and also apparently didn't have a good PPI done (as the left front of the car had been in a MAJOR wreck) and they paid $19k for the car!!!! OMG!!!! OUCH, that hurts to even THINK about! This car is probably 2x as good and less expensive by many $$$$! Sorry you have to sell, someone will be getting a great car!

The car gods must have read this post as I lowered it off the lift bars after putting the new rears on and nothing, no lights or start up. I think I didnt charge the battery up enough before starting the last time.

Patrick: Hope it goes to a good home.

Here is a maintenance history since 2006 or so. I drove the car and gassed it up and it drove fine. Didn't notice any drips coming from the power steering system.

2006-

Timing belt and water pump (mileage at 86,000)
Cam belt rollers
ignition control unit
crank seal
oil pump reseal $6354

2007-
oil pan gasket
engine mounts
steering rack boots
$2500





2008-

New radiator $1300

Rebuilt ECU
Rebuilt oil cooler lines
new slave cylinder $2300

This work was done in VA when Parker C owned the car.

2009-
New front rotors and pads $ 600
New diff fluid

2010-

New steering hoses
New brake fluid
New coolant
New rear Pilot sports in back


The car has no driving issues but there is one thing I would do if I were keeping the car. I can see a bit of oil that collects in a block recess under the filler neck. I think the oil filler neck needs resealing.
The passenger door lock is loose as well. That is all the issues I believe the car to have. Does not burn oil. I replaced the battery last year but I dont think I kept it charged well over the winter. If it does not hold a charge I will take it back to Autozone and replace it.

Mods were limited to Autothority chips and a powdercoated RMB. It sounds awesome and drove just like it did before putting it away for the winter.

If anyone had any other questions, please pm me.

Why is the Auto-Check score so low????? I see nothing in the history that would throw a red flag.

BTW...looks like a great car.

bigred1001

I dont know how the auto check scoring works but did notice that as well as no flags on the report.

Clicking on the explain the score or something like that link in the report;

The following factors impact this vehicle's AutoCheck Score:
POSITIVE FACTORS NEGATIVE FACTORS
Mileage (actual or estimated) Calculated number of owners

On another note, I have a very nice set of liftbars I won't be needing. $150+ shipping.
