Default New to the 928 world.
Hey just wanted to jump up and say hello. This is my 1st 928 one of my "bucket list" cars. Just picked it up from st louis and drove it back to dallas two days ago.
It has it gremlins but nbd no 24 year old car is without them. Good thing SeanR lives just up the road oh and it's his fault i'm here!

its a 1988 s4 5 speed

Very nice interior condition, it's commonly said (i believe this too) that it's better to have crap mechanicals and a nice interior, as it'll be cheaper/easier to fix the mechanical.

Just lift the carpet in the trunk. You should find a square white sticker with all your options listed including the engine and trans code.

Got to take a close look at the car a bit ago, very very nice. Body is close to perfect and the interior only has a few blemishes. We've got a maintenance plan going and should have everything top notch in to time at all.

Great seeing the car today, well done.
