I found the GTS in the September issue of "Sports Car Market" that had this to say about it:

"Straight and tidy, no rot and good paint, lightly creased leather in clean interior. Alloys have been refurbished, good service history showing cam-belts have been changed recently. Condition: 2

Pretty strong money when old smoker can be had for $2,500, but it is a nice example of one of the most desirable 928s. Fair deal both ways"


This looks like it could have been a great deal on a '93:

A "1993 S4"? Wasn't ROW all GTS starting in '92?

I think the black car has a salvage title, TBF, frame damage, and once belonged to Charlie Sheen ... LOL

In Europe, its common to refer to a car's model year by the date of first registration - which is all the legal authorities in Europe care about.

Non-US cars don't have the dated build plate on the door jamb - thats a US Federal DOT requirement, and its only relatively recently, courtesy of the internet, that the majority of non-US 928 owners have been educated as to the model year changes and VIN letter designations.

Thus there are plenty of 1992 and a few 1993 S4's out there, as by that late in the 928's production run, they weren't exactly selling like hotcakes, and there were plenty of S4's unsold after the GTS was introduced in 1992.

From memory, there is even a 928S in the UK which was first registered after 2000 - a car found unsold in dealership storage.

As for the price on the 1995 - thats pretty much par for the course in the UK. You also find a fair few LHD cars coming up for sale there which were brought over from Europe.. and they fetch even less

Here's another 1994 auto asking $US21000, and a '93 5-speed GTS asking $24000. Both have been for sale for over a month and probably won't get what they're asking.

The 95 GTS look like it has the sunroof delete option. Hard to be perfectly sure because the pic quality is not that good, neither is the angle of the shot.

Pictures seem to never get an angle that allows more than a guess, unless the light just happens to outline the sunroof. Sometimes its easier to look at the switches on the console.

Both are RHD Euro/UK models. Not sure the comparison to US models is very meaningful to us.

In Europe and ROW, the option was not to delete the sunroof, but to add it...

True ... from the pic it looks like it doesn't have the sunroof, but a VIN search shows the 650 option.

Perhaps it is. If the GTS is that rare.. once it is 21 years old if I want one bad enough I can just import it at rock bottom prices versus paying six figures for a "perfect" car.

Yesterday I just picked up a Polar Silver, rubbing strips delete, ruffled leather grey sports seats, 5 spd 1993 MY GTS with 130k miles (full engine rebuilt including pistons 15k miles ago) for $18k... One of the original Porsche UK press cars and only one owner since then. Everything except the boot release works and overall is an 8 out of 10 car...

If you want to sell a car, you have to present it well... This one was not, hence the good price. And no, I don't care that it has 1R rods... :P

wow, smoking deal!
