This car is not perfect, is not presented as such, and will never be perfect. It is owned by a 928 enthusiast. Price is set at what I want for it, not what some think the market will bear, etc. There are 2 known local 928 wrenches that can do a thorough PPI at buyer's expense.

Nice car.

JWise

She's a beauty! Lots of tasteful mods, relatively low miles, and some nice extras. Price doesn't seem out of line with what Michael Willhoit might ask. Hate to see you sell it, but GLWS.

Jadz928

I had the pleasure of driving this fine GTS a couple weeks back. I drives like it left the factory, even better with the hi-flo exhaust.
This is a no questions 928!

David,
Typically, I would ask what are you upgrading to? But that doesn't apply here. GLWS, sad to see ya go...

Jim,

After paying my wife's medical bills for the last year, we just need to liquidate some assets to reposition ourselves financially. Between this and my boat going, we will be better off. Both are paid for, they just need to go so I can be more comfortable with a strong savings account for the next family crisis.

With the price set at $48k, I'm in no hurry to give it away.

jorj7

I hope you get a good price, and sorry to hear about your wife's problems. I wish you both well.

David, this is a very responsible thing you are doing. I have to say that I am sorry to see you selling it. Your car is absolutely beautiful, worth every penny of what you are asking. Good luck with the sale.

Nicole

I'm sorry to hear about your wife's medical issues, and hope very much that she is doing better. The 928 is just a car... even though yours is especially beautiful!

Best of luck with the sale!

Brent

David, good luck with the sale, somebody will be getting a very special car. Godspeed.

Nicole,

She had a battle with triple-negative breast cancer and then clear cell carcinoma on her right kidney. She survived and is all clear, so hopefully we have seen the last of it. Folks that have been through that stuff will tell you the medical bills are endless, I think the guy that cuts the grass at the hospital even sent us a bill. Everything is nearly paid in full, but we have no savings now. It's just time to sell some toys. Of course I don't want to sell my 928, it is a prize possession. It is fairly nice and I have the price set at upper end for one within those miles/condition range. A lot of members here have seen the car at various functions so I'll let them chime in on it.

Wow David, I hate to hear about the issues your family is having, normally I would try to talk you out of this, but I know you have thought this through, so good luck finding a buyer.

Landseer

Sorry to hear of the need to sell.
It makes a strong statement about character to your family, especially as your kids watch.

For anybody who hasn't seen it, this is an exceptional, stunning car.

Tom in Austin

Great opportunity for a 928 enthusiast to get one of the best GTSs out there.

cold_beer839

She doesn't know about this, as she would probably argue not to sell it. She went to SITM11 with me and had a great time. But, selling this car and our boat would really build our saving account back to a stronger position than before her cancer issues. The kids really like the car as well, they have been to all SITM's with me, as well as Frenzy last year.

I doubt it will sell at $48k, however there is room for negotiation, but this is certainly no fire sell. Occassionally we have someone pass through here looking for a nice GTS 5-spd, so maybe this will catch one of them.

Mongo

Dang David I hope you jump back into 928s again soon after this sale and stick around on this board. Good luck!
