Default For Sale: 928 Factory Workshop Manuals 9-volume set

I have a Grey 9 Vol Tech Manual set that is still in its original shipping carton(made 10-10-1997)....still has the Achtung Bereits komplettiert sticker on the outside of the box!

My LS v8 Jeep TJ is bleeding me dry I will let the Manuals go for $500 shipped to your door or would trade for a 9000lbs winch

I also have a Also a Techno/Porsche First Aid kit that came in Euro 928's! The box has a few marks on it but the fact it has survived for 30+ years is pretty cool(would look great on display at a car show!) $50 shipped

If you want the manuals and 1st aid kit I will bundle them for $520 shipped..... will get pics of everything in a few

Unless something has changed over the past 6-8 years.... I've never paid more than $350 for a set of "grays". Paid btw, $150 - $250 for "maroons".

Never sold them for any more than I paid either.

They'd been out of print for least a few years.

What gives?

The price Porsche is charging now went up by 300+%, so if you bought one
new recently, you've got a lot more invested in them then the old days... I
still have a couple of "grays", one I bought for $350 new 11+ years ago.

I bought a used set of maroons as they covered the '86.5 and I didn't plan on getting a GTS so wasn't any need for the gray ones.
