it is a very rare color. these color combinations where mostly cars owned by leading members of the porsche factory. I have one of those. the interior color is the best you can get (imo)
Unfortunately my car was painted black 20 years ago. now I redid the paintjob completely but desided for another color. but I would not hesitate buying the car!!!

It's either Cassisrot and Burgundy, or Nougat Brown and Mahogany.
The lighting makes it look a bit "pink-ish" - that can happen with Nougat Brown in the evening hours.

three things:
1. would it make you feel better if we promise to call it brown when you post questions here?
2. if you want, i give you permission to call it "Champagne"
3. i paid $8500 for one that needed A LOT LOT more work just from first blush than this does... so pretty much this ---->
my vote is buy it, giggle madly whilst driving it. if anyone says "why is your porsche that color?" you have may appropriately respond with "...and what color is your porsche?? oh you dont have a porsche??"

You have worked on that car? Is there anything you could tell me about it? I have not owned a 928 yet, but I know they can get pretty expensive with repairs and maint... I'm guessing the timing belt will need done right off the bat.

There's plenty of NW folks that can help you with maintenance cost. Lots of threads that can get you there too if you can swing a wrench. Read up on the flex plate for the auto trasnmissions. IF left unchecked, it can lead to thrust bearing failure. Low mileage car should be good. TB is a doable job if you are handy.

Odometer
Sorry for being negative on my first post, but the 2 in the 082904 odometer reading is out of line. This can be due to someone tampering with it. How confident are you about the mileage?
Other than that, looks pretty straight.

Hello. I have been looking for a nice 928s4 for a while, but in my area they are as rare as a mclaren.... This one is pretty close and seems very clean, but I don't really care for the color. Is this a rare color for a 928s4? It also has brown interior. i want one so bad that I am almost willing to make the sacrifice untill a nice one in a better color comes along (may be a long while).... I just don't want to be STUCK with it.....
He is asking $8500. Its an '87 w/ 83,xxxk miles,auto, No recent maint records. From an estate sale, but very clean....

I'm guessing the timing belt will need done since he has no idea if it has or needs done....

Not sure, but they say 951 is harder to work on....So you shouldn't have any worries. Timing belt job is straight forward on a 928. Its best to drive several of them before you buy one. Are you sure you want an automatic?

Glad to hear the 951's are harder because it has been the hardest car to work on that I've had beside my TTZ's.....
