Yes, and maybe another $250 for the belts, hoses (they come off anyway), incidentals.
$2000 to $2500 - ish
Late 86 vin, too.
Does that make it the pre-S4 release, with the S4 front suspension and big brakes?

1986 928S: The last time the timing belt was changed, was 12/99 andf the car has only traveled about 8k miles on it since then for a total of 22k miles. No records of the water pump being changed. Owner has sent me the following about service history:
When would timing belt be an issue?
TIA

3 hours to go. Just starting your research? 
Not trying to be a dick but the heat of the auction makes you vulnerable; good luck.
Went to j***e2, with feedback of 2; is that you? wasn't that the BIN? Hmmmmm.

When bidding went past $16k, I told him to hold off and look for an S4 or GT.
A bidder who has only two is always concerning. He bid it up along with someone with only 10.

My 86.5 / 5 Speed / RH 18" wheels sold for $11K with 41K miles. All maintenance had been done & well documented - had a minor parking lot accident with good repairs/paint @ left fender / front spolier - no complaints at this price! Thats a nice car your buddy is looking at, but $16K is pushing the upper limits...
