Forgot to add:

- Replaced OEM steering wheel with 930S model, still have original steering wheel.
- Leather is in EXCELLENT condition, not a stain, tear, wear mark on it.
- No cracks in dash, etc. anywhere

Will post pictures later this week and then put in classifieds. Until then click my profile, some photos are there. I am confident as well others who have seen it will vouch for the condition.

Looks like a very nice car and great odometer reading. Not undrivable low like a few garage finds. A lot of car for the money just that most prospective buyers will not understand the value of a well kept maintained example of an S-4. Most tend to buy the cheaper ones they find and then turn it into one of the most expensive Nothing really wrong with that if the object is to have a project and a hobby restoring the car.

Spot on James..

I know I put a good chunk of $ toward Sean and Roger's kids college funds! This S4 literally needs absolutely nothing.

The car should be worth that money for the right buyer. Is there somewhere for more pics? Personally I would sell the Nissan again though and keep the 928. Car for car I beliieve the 928 will be worth much more as a classic.

May be true on Z -vs- 928 but have had the Z much longer and much more emotional attachment as I pretty much redid it from the ground up.. Still might sell it instead, got the itch for a 1994+ Lotus Esprit...

The wheels are in excellent condition, ZERO curb rash/etc. Had them taken apart and re-powdercoated when I got them 1.5 years ago
