Default Nice 87 5 speed

Just saw this on Ebay. Looks very impressive. Impressive price too. I do not know what they did to the hatch carpet. Does anyone know anything about this car? Vin# WP0JB092XHS860538.

This is the Syosset car we were talking about last week.

I would sooner grab one of Michael Wilhoit's cars over this one.

All I can gather is it was purchased in Arizona or New Mexico but no other details.

I missed that discussion thanks for letting me know. The only reason this got my attention was that it is almost a twin to mine. If anyone is interested I might sell mine for just a little under that 38K. LOL

its severely overpriced.....for that price it would have to be well under 10k miles...not 30k...thats GTS type $$$ I think they would be lucky to sell it for $25k.....

I spoke to them before I bought mine, was not impressed. They are they said FIRM on the price.

At that price it be for sale for years and years. Way too many miles and too many flaws. That may be the most unrealistic price I've ever seen on a 928. They probably picked it up a dealer's auction for $10k max.

...also keep in mind that Arizona is one of the few "Title Wash" states, allowing a previously Salvaged Title to go through a process to become a Clean Title again, so verification of the facts would be imperative !!

Unrealistic price, unless the buyer has zero knowledge of a 928 or a computer.

Interesting sales approach.

Reminds me of makeup for celebrities.

If the car is legitimate what would be a fair price? I think around $23,000. Too high or too low?

Hard to say.
Looks polished to within an inch of its life.
Apparently this sales methodology has some measure of success with some clientelle.


We saw a beautiful original GTS manual trade hands 2 weeks ago at a price.
Maximum price, with primping and pimping through specially devised channels, was likely much higher.


If you just "earned" a 59% bonus on a $325K base and wanted to buy a vintage car for dad on the way home, this could be it.

This type of car has an appeal across a very wide set of value equations.

maybe.....it looks nice, but nothing like some pristine models I have seen.... I recall a 25k mileage S4 that was perfect and maintained by Doc Brown sell for around 25k.....but I think it was an auto too....

I'd say anything under $20k is okay.....closer to $15k is getting realistic...
