Default My New S4

Not too long ago I introduced myself stating I was looking for an S4. I am happy to say I found one!! It is a local car (Twin Cities) I've had my eyes on for a while. The PO and I finally reached an agreement.

I am in love with it - Dove Blue with Blue/Tan interior. A binder with extensive service records dating back to '92 were included and it is clear the car was well taken care of. The PPI confirmed this, and while it is not perfect, it is perfect for me. The most pressing need is replacing the fuel lines and the TB/WP are close to needing replacement as well.

I appreciate the leads many of you sent me. Clearly, there are some nice cars out there.

Here are a few pics. It could use a good detailing which I'll tackle this weekend. Note the highly rare cupholder option!

PS - I was also the guy posting about a '94 GTS with 215K miles. I ended up passing on it but if you are interested in such a machine, let me know and I can put you in touch with the current owner.

Nice looking 928 looks like you got a good one. Welcome to the shark tank. Call Roger for the fuel line kit.

I was just in MSP yesterday and today. I get there for business. Would love to meet you and the car next time I'm in town.

Be sure to inspect the crank end play and release the thrust bearing load. Good idea to put either a PK Clamp or one of Constantine's Super Clamps on. Thrust nearing failure has killed more automatic 928's than fire.

Wow, nice. To be indiscreet- what's the ballpark odometer/price ratio on that acquisition?

I'd have gotten the GTS, but that's just me ;-)
