With the 5speed and Club Sport wheels...isn't that an 89 GT?

At Mecum, my guess is bid goes to 23K.

Is there any way to get the VIN, and can you do online bidding at Mecum? Hmmm. (My current car came out of nearby Fort Wayne, IN, so I already know my way back home )

Mecum takes telephone bids sign up ahead of time prove you have $$$ bank letter etc. ....just remember the added buyers fees. Also possible state sales tax if you personally pickup the car instead of having a commercial shipper deliver.

If so it is being under represented and a savvy buyer may get a deal.

Mecum and Barrett-Jackson typically do not get the high dollars on cars out of the mainstream like the 928.

Right around $27K is my guess. Is there a reserve set on it?

Anyone else think that might be a GT?

Hi Bill...sure looks like it!

Did you see this thread? https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...16k-miles.html

Its redline is 6500 - I think that means it is a GT. Anyone?

Bill Coleman

Nope. I looked for another thread, but I missed that one.

Nope -

Shorter shifter and dual tip exhaust. 2 of the visual signs of an '89GT aside from the CS wheels

I skimmed the agreement, I think there is an additional $100 to bid by phone, but you save on travel and hotel. And of course you are not there to inspect or drive it home.

This car is really a dog, nobody should even look at it or comment further, let it die a quiet death. Heh. Heh.

Good chance the OWNER will end up bidding on it to avoid selling it for less than what he thinks it is worth......happens all the time on no reserve cars basically "protecting" it, they still pay the fees...So the auction house wins. Mecum always has a lot of dealers at their sales as they will provide free rooms, registration etc. for active buyers.....much like getting comps in Vegas And yes I have been to their auctions.

It also appears they jack up the buyer's fee from 8% to 10% for absentee bidders. You also have to declare a max bid amount and give them 20% of that up front to play...

James Bailey

Yes they have a big problem with "buyers remorse" really, really need to be sure you are serious !!!!! And have the funds to make it happen....

Pretty nice looking 928 there. My dad and I are planning to go just to look at some nice cars and have some fun. What's a good price for something like this? I at first thought I could afford it then realized 16k Miles!! Pricey I'm sure.
