Default I know it's crazy but it's true.

I have been craving the 928 for some reason. Maybe because it's one of the few pcars I haven't owned or some other ill forgotten reason. Anyway, no way I can pull off another car in my household (if you get were I'm coming from). So I'm looking for someone interested in a trade. I have an 87 951 that doesn't see much action anymore. All the major service ( timing belt, water pump, clutch, rollers, and much more) have been done within the last 2k miles. She has 134K on the clock. Dash is cracked and she leaks a little oil, I value her at about a 5 to 6k car. Looking for a similiar car, no rust buckets, only stipulation is she has to be a manual. let me know if anyone's interested. Pm me for more details as this is just a feeler.

If you think wanting a 928 is crazy .... Boy are you in the wrong place!

Welcome. (Nice looking 951 BTW).

Nice car!

Trade you for a 79. Just needs paint. Oh and you might want to have one of the leather guys redo the interior. Otherwise it rules. New tires even. Oh and it needs carpet. And the headliner *may* need to be refitted.

Finding a rust free car won't be a problem. Finding a later car with a 5 speed is harder. Finding one with nice interior and paint can be hard too.

Ya you may have a hard time trading for a standard even thou an auto with 400 horse will put a grin on your face.

You may also have a hard time finding one that cheep but one thing for sure is that you are at the right place.
Stan Shaw had a 2.5 runner but it was an auto and I think it sold.

Good luck though and welcome to the Family

Nice vid- even the pros can't get in/out gracefully! poor kid stuffed in the back..

Amazing they could watch that and not think 'hm, got to do something about those wheels...'

And it doesn't help the confusion any that they call it "Porsh"(no-uh).

There was a nice one posted in the member member section by "hernaca". That is what I'm talking about. To bad he's not up for the trade. Thanks for the input and let me know if you hear of anything. May have to wait till all the sharks come to Hell and swap someone there.

So, you're saying that I am not the only person that looks like Stephen Hawking fell out of his wheelchair, trying to get out of my 928.

I never understood the "rear air". No one can fit back there to necessitate keeping cool. Works good for beer, I guess.

To the O.P.,

If you were trying to trade an S for an S4, we might be talking.

I have no desire to go back to the 951, although I do love them, and yours is gorgeous.

Nope. Just cramped behind the passenger seat. Wasn't too bad of a ride all things considered. I'm used to riding in the back of cars and have a few tricks to make it a bit more comfy.
