One more thing that is interesting about this sale. I have shown this car to my wife and kids. I just told them the miles and condition and showed them the picture. I then had them guess the asking price. Not one of them guessed over $25,000. Me personally I would much rather have the very low miliage S4 he has for $29,000 and take the other $70,000 and buy a newer ZO6. OH, and my Zo6 would need a sunroof. LOL

Personally , I have been looking for the right GTS for a few years now , but if I could buy a brand new V-8 powered 928 in the same ballpark as these "ultra priced" GTS's , I think I might go that way.

Don't hold your breath, latest news I have heard is Prosche is going in the direction of a mid-engine high-performer instead of anything like a front engine GT.

Plus a 2 door panamera is hardly a 928 reboot.

Ultra low production or ultra low mileage may go well beyond "excellent" value.

I dont know **** but thats what I read

928 without a sunroof is one of a tiny number of cars tall people fit in really well as opposed to sort of, and likely the best of the lot. The 928 has exceptional leg room and adjustability that combined with sun roof delete make it close to an ideal car. Many tall people fell in love with an early car with manual seats, so newer models with raised power seats and lowered headroom from the sun roof really really sucked.

BTW the price of this 928 has nothing to do with what the car is worth, its about what the buyer is worth. About the value of no compromises, and the willingness to give yourself the best.

I figured there was something else besides the racing factor that I was missing about the sunroof delete being so popular. I am right at 6' and never thought of it as a issue but I guess if you were 6'4 it might be. I still do not see this car being worth anything close to the asking price though. There are too many great 928's that come along well under 40K to choose from. 30K would likely buy my dream 928 which is.... Anything late body and 5 speed, close to perfect original condition, low miles with maintenance up to date, 18 in. Carrera's, all tastfully modded and supercharged. Did I leave anything out.

Monthly payments?

The difference between a 9/10 car and a 10/10 isn't 10%. Yes if you looked long enough you might find a pristine low mileage S4 5 spd for $30k, I've seen one that was very nice and sold for $17.5k to LoMiler, who I think flipped it for mid $30k range. You won't find a similar GTS for that unless the seller has no clue. It all depends on how far from 10/10 you are happy with, and how long and how much time you are willing to spend looking and waiting instead of driving.

I kind of doubt whoever buys this car will see the price as a financial hardship, or even a real issue.

Chuck's a tall guy, and after 5 years of cleaning and detailing it would be as nice as his old one maybe.

This car was sold a couple of years ago for a higher price. It is a great car at a fair price. If you are over 6 ft tall the sunroof delete option is a big plus.

Low mileage, original 5spd GTS's are selling well at high values.
