A customer of mine has a 1982 black/ black 5sp with 16k miles. It's a one owner car and it's never been serviced other than fluid changes. Original water pump and timing belt. The paint is all original and it good shape but it has a few bruises from his employees bumping it in his warehouse. It's got a leather dash that is perfect and the carpet is perfect but amazingly enough the seats have lost some of their pleating on the bottom. I'd prefer an S and this is not but after driving it I may be tempted.

It's been a very long time since I've driven a near new 928 and boy did it feel good.

$23,928

Based on a recent '82 AT with 6K miles that just sold on ebay, I'd say $16-18K. + for 5 speed, - for slightly higher miles.

With 16k miles & being a one owner 5spd, hopefully a lot more than $23,928!

That 30 year old timing belt and water pump still works, pretty amazing.

A very nice 82 Kiln Red auto with only 5,800 miles sold a few weeks ago on ebay for $ 18,600.01. A 29,000 79, 5spd, no rub strips, no sunroof sold for approx $ 14,000 about a month ago, also on ebay. I would guess that your friends car would be worth approx $ 15,000 ? The seats in the 12,000 mile 79 I picked up from Tass a few months back also have lost some pleating on the front edge, and The PO for most of it's life was a smaller, older women. 77Tony

Saying this to you seems a little unnecessary, but I would say "not much", early US cars have no oomph, relatively speaking. It's just too far down on power. 85 and up or nothing. These cars do a lot with the horsepower they have but the early ones are even outnumbered by average sedans today.


That Boston euro is starting to look mighty cheap compared to the above numbers.

I would sure hope so

I've pulled a couple that were that old and they looked just as good as new. Not unusual but doesn't mean I'd want to use them.

I tend to agree, but there is a market for 'collectors' and this fits in there. Look at James with Blue '82. I've slobbered over that car and is worth whatever pennies he spent on it. One that is as close to new as these low mile ones are, doesn't matter what year they are, it's not like they will be driven anyway.

A few other interesting things about it. He ordered it with no sunroof, rub strips or radio.

I emailed him with a short list of questions and he replied by answering one. Not inspiring.

Mark Anderson

Ditto. That car blew me away.

You will tire quickly of the "newness"...

I'd say wait for what you want...it will come along...

Mark Anderson

I hear you Tom but I may pick this up anyway while I continue to look for the right car. I'd like to fix the few things wrong and see it go to a good home. The owner is 78 and is thinking of trading it in on a new car. I'd hate to see what path that may lead.

Ahh.... a foster parent for unwanted, or abused, or neglected 928's Hmm..... I think you of all people would make a great foster 928 parent LOL....

I'm pretty sure I can do a much better job than the local Lexus dealer.
