Greetings,

My colleague is VERY interested in purchasing a 928 ( perhaps an S4, who knows...) and was hoping to obtain some link information so we can do as much homework as possible prior to sealing a possible deal.

Any helpful weblinks?

Thanks,

He can have mine (I'm selling it, sadly)

ps. for homework try these:

Porsche official site - look for 928 under Classic Models
Porsche Club of America link to 928 info
Buyer's guide and a link to other links
Another good 928 site...

I´m also sadly selling my 89 GT for a very reasonable price. The only problem: the car is in Spain, very far from your friend, I think.

Regards.

To buy? go to cars.com; autotrader.com; roadfly.com; 928 Specialists lists cars (928gt.com), and I think Devek and 928intl.com also list. I wouldn't go to Brian Buxton, Bridgeville, PA, or the dealer in St. Louis who uses varioius names. Most dealers have to work on some mark up, don't know or won't give you a history which is mandatory unless you get a PPI and/or are a wrench, and some don't know a GT from S4.

Don't forget eBay.

E-BAY!!! My BEST adive for you is to stay as far away from purchasing any Porsche on E-Bay as much as humanly possible. There are cars that can be found here on the Rennist by
<clicking here>.

Also try to work with the list sponsors if possible. I think Buxton MotorSports is a list sponsor .

Best of luck on your 928 Purchase.

Ebay isn't inherently good or bad: garbage in garbage out. They are unlikely to support a buyer over a seller if a dispute arises, so buyer beware. With a product like the 928, the risk is obvious. I've heard of people buying on Ebay sight unseen; hiring a shipper and being happy with their purchase. YMMV. I've only exchanged emails with Mr. Buxton about a couple of 928s, I would not pursue the venture with him any further. YMMV.

Honestly Steve, I had an unfortunate incident that occured with Mr. Buxton and it really pissed me off. I ended up buying my current 996 elsehwere because of him but, as always two sides to the dispute can be told and people will chose to beleive what they will. I prefer not to put my personal buiness out there with such a possibility for mud slinging on both parts - you know the type of argument..."he said, she said, then, he did, she did".

However, personal ethics prevent me from discounting the fact that Mr. Buxton is a Rennlist Sponsor and I prefer to recognize that first above my unfortunate interaction with him early last year. I have freinds that have done great business with Mr. Buxton and I have "friends" that simultaneously think I can be an azzhole at times. I am cetain the visa-versa also applies here, so that pretty much evens things for me with him in my book.

In a statement for his favor- I think he went into the transaction with good intentions on my 2002 996 but really got thinks mucked up during the process.
