Default I have fallen in love all over again!

Not seen the word 'resplendent' in a car ad in a while, but she's quite resplendent. Tragically, probably not included with the car.....

Looks like a nice example! That seat bolster repair should be easily doable with a donor panel from a seatback, and Colorplus can probably color match that very custom color.

Just a bit too much hype ....and a "rare" automatic too Rear bumper cover looks a shade off but who knows. The quoted Haggarty value numbers estimates are interesting !!

"928 S4 Tiptronic"

Hype? Ignorance? Forgivable? I guess. Sigh.

I'm not sure the blue nails match the rest of her ensemble, but I suppose that can be changed.

As for the car, you should buy this right now. Just do it. It's gorgeous :-)

Very pretty car, and a good price too! I'd do it, and I've never seen one with that color combo before.

The seller may not know too much about 928's but that looks/sounds like the real deal that could easily jump to $25k. I do not like the elastoplast in front of the rear wheel but that is a minor detail for a car that looks as clean as this one does. The description of the mechanical history sounds logical & very encouraging. It will be interesting to see if this example is known to the list.

With a nice young lady thrown in for good measure it may be a quite a good buy!

re·splend·ent, adjective: attractive and impressive through being richly colorful or sumptuous.

I guess he's right. The colour combination is...'resplendent'.

General appearance looks consistent with a 62K mile car. It's nice to see one with such a straight front spoiler, I'd tend to take that as a good sign of how the PO(s) took care of the car as a whole.

I got a Carfax on mine for some comfort level about past collisions, ownership history consistent with the seller's statements, etc.

Slider, this car looks like it's a rare color combo, and in fantastic shape. Buy it before someone else does. I wouldn't fool around on this one. You already know you want it!

I can say the exterior color is very stunning. I was very disappointed with the color of mine when I got it, I was actually considering changing it. The car had been resprayed and was faded.

I decided to have a fender that I repaired painted the OEM color, not colored to match, just to see. I was awe struck. Instead of the staid gold brown of the car it was more a metallic copper, in the right light I even see hints of purple. I find myself marveling at the fender in low and reflective lights. Needless to say the present plan is back to the Nougat Brown Metallic.

Good luck.

You can always make an offer and see if he takes it.
