It really is a great car for the money. If it were a 5 speed it would already be in my garage, but as it stands, I am selling a 87 AUTO myself.

Any idea if the fuel lines were replaced and also what is the mileage?
This would be a great jumping in point for a new owner. $6000 plus $5000 ready to go on parts and such.

Michael, I have no knowledge of everything that has been done to the car. I have personally only worked with the interior of this car.
If you (or anyone else) has questions the seller listed his cell phone number as the contact point in the ad. Super nice guy and very knowledgeable.
I cannot imagine a needing a $5000 budget for repairs IMHO.

Hello. I was very happy to have seen this thread about this particular car. As it turns out, I am possibly going to pick this up on Saturday after a 5 hour drive. I have a PPI scheduled at a local EURO shop in Chat' town tomorrow but if there is anything you could tell me about it, I would be quite appreciative. Thanks-Ryan

The seller told me that he wholesaled it to a dealer over the weekend.
It has a newer WP/TB and the highest quality Audio system I have seen in a 928.
I have a lot of details on the car but I would put more credence in the PPI than the opinion of a friend of the owner.
If you need any extra info I will be with the PO all day tomorrow. PM your number to me and I am sure he could take a few minutes to call you and talk about it.

AWW, COME ON. mediped, someone knows the story on this car. Yeah the pics show some rear bumper cover damage, and a respray, but if you are local and know the PO, you gotta know a little bit about the car. That being said, even buying my car on first sight from a used car lot without any fore knowledge of a porsche, let alone a 928, or RL advise, I love my 928 and the 5k car it is with almost 10k invested.

That Radio sticking out like it does is a sure sign of sloppy electric work, take a good look at the CE and look for chopped up and or burnt wiring.
Other than that, if you budget another $4k and stay close to that number, should be well bought if the PPI checks out.

The reason I said what I did about the PPI is because I would tend to be more bright and shiney about the car because I know it and the PO. I would be more biased towards the car than the guy @ Bavarian Auto, which is a well know local shop. I have bought four of my seven 928's from eBay and have never gotten one sight unseen that are as nice as this car. If I had known that he was going to wholesale it to a dealer I might have bought it just to help him out and then flip but my 928 plate is full.
I am not aware of any reason NOT to buy this car and think it is a great entry point for a first time buyer. I would put the car, with the upgrades, mileage and maintenance history at $7500 for a quick sale or $8999 for the right buyer.
The OP should do what is right for his situation.

I have had private contact with Ryan and have arranged a phone call with my friend the PO. I have stated that if it were a 5 spd I would already have it in my driveway(my garages are already full of 928's). I have driven the car (before the new wheels) and it ran as it should. I have never seen this car in any condition other than as pictured (2.5 years). Any body/paint work done on this car was done in the previous chain of ownership. This car was at SITM 2013 and seen by all who attended.

Well after the results of the PPI, tons of pics sent to me by the shop and a subsequent conversation with the PO, looks like Im headed South early in the morning! If all goes as planned, I will return to IN with a new family member and shop manual for her and a ton of very important receipts. I will post pics IF everything goes my way.
