I'd say the 928, both to reassure the seller that his baby is going to a good home, and to let him know that you are not inexperienced with these cars.

Cruise up on an old rusted Schwinn bicycle and wear really dirty clothes smelling of patchouli oil.

If you drive up in a newish Escape, he may think you have money.

If you drive up in a car that relates to what you are looking at AND is in good condition, it can assure the seller that

a. you appreciate that type of car
b. you know how to treat a such car on a test drive
c. be less inclined to BS about issues
d. respect your offer more, because they know you know what these cars are worth

Now, if you were looking at a Beetle, it might not matter much...

Best of luck!

Your spending WAY too much thought on what should you drive. Have you picked a tie and cologne yet?

Hire a limo. That will confuse him.
