Default Time to sell my 84s

It has been a long journey, but with my current job situation as well as just having another baby, I have to put my 928 ownership on hold.
My car is a 1984 928s. It has 141,000 miles, it has had a host of new parts and work done. It is running great, starts right up, a/c is cold. There are however some simple typical issues I haven't got to. It needs a front spoiler, rear hatch switch is disconnected, power antenna is stuck etc. I originally paid 5 grand and added around 20 to that in parts. I am asking 9000.00 or reasonable offers.

At this time, I am not listing it anywhere but here just because of the fact that I prefer the fourth owner to be someone who will appreciate what I've done with the car.

Porsche list

Air flow meter/new
Head gaskets
Oil pan gaskets
Cam seal gaskets
Throttle body o-ring
Intake emblem
Injector seals
Thermo time switch

Repaired power seat switches
Wiper blades, all 3
Window tint
Window track slides
O2 sensor
Vacuum lines and fittings
Ac modded to 134
Drivers door handle mechanism
Hood crest

That is a start from what I can remember.

I am not a paperwork guy so the receipts would have to come from 928intl, 928 motorsports,
928's r-us, 928 specialists and north Olmsted Porsche.

I will add more photos as soon as I can.

I truly hope you get $9K. I am guessing you will actually get close to half of that, unfortunately. I have an 84 as well, and I really like it. I think most people prefer the newer cars and do not appreciate the advantages of the older, simpler, non-interference cars.
Best of luck,
Dave

I've had 84,5,6 automatics.

The 84 USA is my preference, head and shoulders above the 32V cars

Yours looks great. Hope it finds a good home quickly.

Better off trying to sell it on Ebay with reserve price if you haven't already tried it.
