I'm not looking to buy another 928, but this looks interesting.

Man, that looks way underpriced. A lot of hours on that engine. You can almost start a countdown clock for how fast that will sell. 10 - 9 - 8 - 7...

Yes, but it's an automatic.

This was up for sale a year or two ago, I believe. There is background here on rennlist. It is a repaint, open exhaust (or at least minimally muffled, but may have headers IIRC), appeared very nice by all accounts I could turn up. Was just a little ahead of my ability to make a move at the time.

AT takes a lot of the joy out of a Euro S, sure whacks the price anyway.

The Stepson shifts into 4th gear at 120 at WOT. How much more joy/fun do you want?

Releasing the clutch in first at any rpm I choose.

Tough to beat a Euro auto (2.54), just bury the accelerator and it acts like a modern DCT. Perfect, lightning quick downshifts from redline to Tq peak, allowing 2 hands on the wheel and full concentration on the road. A human can not match that.

This car is in GREAT shape! The owner has spent many many hours on it and highly prized it. Hate to see him sell it actually. Very fair price, not sure he would actually sell it to be honest, ha.

If it was a manual and 2000 miles closer I'd jump on it.

I like that the vintage mobile phone is still installed ;-)

I hope he gets the price he wants. Looks nice from the pictures, not perfect, but a good baseline car for someone that wants a Euro Auto.

Have to Agree with TV -> Aside from the macho factor of driving a stick, an old drag racer once told me 'Son, you cannot outshift an automatic.. get yer-self a 2 speed pwrglid.. (gotta say it like you have a big ole wad of Chaw in the cheek..)'

The ad states "Reason for selling is my passion has changed to horses."

No grown man develops a passion for horses. His wife developed the passion. Now he has to sell the car so he can shovel ****.
