Default selling my 1988 928 s4

hey guys, i'm selling my 928. time has come to let it go and move onto a pickup for the next few years before getting a newer 911 of some sort (or perhaps a cayenne? i'm in negotiations with the boss...) bought a fixer upper house and not having a truck is killing me....

i posted it here on the vehicle marketplace as well as craigslist and ebay. hoping i can cover all the bases. love this car but i'ts just time. i needed a very light weight dqaily driver (mostly i cab it to the airport) but things have changed and with the purchase of that house and more regular commuting i need to let it go.

https://rennlist.com/forums/vehicle-...88-928-s4.html

here's the text of the ad, pictures are in the marketplace link. PM me for the carfax if you want it....

I’m selling my 1988 Porsche 928 S4. I have decided to move onto a 911 from the last few years or so, and must let go of my beloved 928! She has been garage kept her whole life and it shows. Paint is in lovely condition. She runs like a champ too, starts fast and runs beautifully. Most of the big ticket items of a 928 have been tackled already and this car is daily-driver ready (And is in fact mine!) The car is in really great shape with just enough room for some small projects to make it your own (see below). It currently has about 135K miles on it. The car was a customer ordered unit and a German delivered import, so it has the metric dash for speed and mileage. I have purchased a Carfax report from June 3rd 2015 to save you the time and $$. Just ask I will email it to you. If you want to do your own, here is the VIN: WP0JB0921JS861440.

I am asking $10,500

Please feel free to call with questions or to come take a look. Car is in Clearwater/largo during the day and Treasure Island evenings/weekends. Call 904-440-3718 and ask for Charles. Please do not contact with offers to trade, or with offers to help sell or list the car.

Here’s what is already done and what’s new
1. water pump replaced
2. timing belt replaced
3. transmission replaced with a rebuilt unit
4. brand new battery
5. fuel sending unit replaced
6. gas evaporative Y connector replaced
7. lights/electrics are all refreshed
8. Oil change about 100 miles ago (always changed at 6 month intervals by a Porsche guy!)
9. brand new interstate battery
10. brand new BF Goodrich Comp Sport 2 tires (less than 400 miles on them)
11. windshield wiper motor replaced
12. 2 new cold air intakes
13. New air filter
14. Plugs/wires/cap/rotor just checked at last oil change
15. Brakes were done about 1100 miles ago and still look/feel new (hawk performance pads and Zimmerman premium rotors)
16. Alloy wheels
17. New smaller momo steering wheel (I’m a little too tall for the oem one)

Here’s what the car comes with parts wise:
1. Seat gears (See below)
2. Seat controller ($400 part! – see below)
3. Mirror controller switch (haven’t installed yet)
4. Body trim pieces
5. Porsche Oil filters and crush rings (save some $$ at your oil changes)
6. All manuals with service information
7. Receipts and paperwork going back 10 years for EVERYTHING
8. Original 928 wheels with 4 decent all seasons on them
9. I am including a wall mount tire rack if you want it, worth $100
10. I bought a new airpump for the spare
11. Otherwise comes with ALL the OEM stuff (tool kit, collapsible spare, jack etc)
12. Original steering wheel

Here’s what it needs:
1. Rearview mirror controller installed (easy!)
2. Driver’s seat doesn’t recline electronically (gears and controller came from previous owner) but otherwise works great (fwd/back/heat/lumbar all ok). Repair or wait until December and replace for $250 from 928 international during their Christmas sale (passenger side has no issues)
3. Maybe a newer radio if you want Bluetooth or Sirius? Works fine though….
4. Dash instrument pod has some small cracks from front to back
5. Dash has some leather pushed up around vents
6. Really, that’s it!

thanks for the feedback on the price, i'm trying to be fair and make sure it ends up with someone who will treat it well.

and you can add "new window tinting" to the list of stuff i've done. (i guess you can add "screwed up window tinting with windex to that list as well.)

IMHO you have under priced your car given all the usual maintenance issues one usually sees for ones asking around $10k, even though it's an Auto (and I like Autos too).

I'd put this one up for at least $15k given the History, paperwork and parts stated, try to buy one w/o all that being done(and proven) and see what it costs to do it today given the current parts cost.

At $10k this one should be gone, if it's not already.

i like the way you think dave. not hits yet on it, so if it doesn't sell after a a bit i'll take it down and repost with the higher ask. I had to get it appraised for hagerty ($265 a year for insurance.... that's the way it SHOULD be) and it appraised at $16K... it's only been for sale for a few days, here craigslist and ebay. wonder where else i should post it?

I have had my car up on Ebay and the market is not as strong as people think.

My car is in Canada so it is a little bit of a hassle importing into the USA but the offers I am getting is $11,500-$12,500 (with a bunch of real low ball offers like $6000)
