I assume that's Canadian Dollars. It looks like an incredible opportunity.

Local to me if anyone needs a PPI. That dealer always has a few 928's.

No rear air also. Looks nice...
'93 GTS= weak connecting rods, oil consumption. Both fixable issues for some $$$.

Or maybe neither is an issue.

For street use, I don't think rods are an issue. As to oil, mine burns perhaps 0.5 qt./1000. I don't flog it, but I don't baby it either.

I agree 10000000% Not an issue unless you are going to supercharge it. I do push my cars hard. I hate these bad rumors going around. There are only a few oddball cases of connecting rod failure so to say all suffer is untrue.

For the record mine still does not burn oil. No need to top off oil with oil changes every 2500 to 3000 miles. HP and Torque are factory spec and the car has 63k miles.

looks to be in good condition. Love the sport seats.

It would never stop me (and didn't) from buying a 93 GTS......

Comments bad mouthing GTS's are always from people who don't own them but SURE DO WANT TO! And can you blame a 928 owner for wanting a GTS! Best of the breed (despite a bit of oil use)! Only 400 imported and FAR less than that on the road today! Nearly as rare as hens teeth and everyone thinks they are some brand new Porsche they just haven't seen yet!

Every time I see these cars (S to GTS...it doesn't matter which) I am amazed at how well the shape has stood up to time, and never seems to look dated - no other car I know of has pulled this off as well.

Sweet GTS...wish I had the space!!!

You do oil changes that frequently?

Due to the large oil capacity of the 928, the extra large oil filter, the oil cooling system and using synthetic oils, you really only need to change oil every 10K - or even longer.

I suggest you read Doug Hillary's oil thesis and start saving yourself some money:

Sorry a habit i will never break and have lived by since the 70's, sacrificial oil is worth the peace of mind. I used to be more **** and it was once a year or every 2000 miles whichever came first. I did the same with my turbo. Now it is just once a year and whatever miles. I usually don't put more than 2500 miles a year 3000 tops. The 964 C2 gets it's oil changed every 1800-2000 track miles so roughly 3 times a season. Although I go by a '1 track mile is equivalent to 3 street miles' approach. The turbo and C2 take 12 quarts per change. So the 928 is cheap in comparison.

It might be crazy waste of money to some. But it is a habit I got into driving 911's for so many years. The earlier 911's used a copper dry sump tank and the acids and condensation in the oil from sitting over the winter would eat away at the tank. I also flush all fluids every 2 years whether the car is driven or it is needed or not.

I know there is no reason to maintain these intervals any longer and I am less concerned about my Cayenne which recommends a 12k mile interval but I change it every 6-8000, just a habit i will always live by I guess.

If you think I am crazy the original owner of my GTS changed the oil every 750 miles. He owned the car until it had 42k miles on the odo.

One thing I like to check for with oil changes is evidence of any metal or internal damage. Something I have always preferred to do at least once a year.
