Wow, that is a great price too! If the description is correct, then it is fairly up to date minus the ABS error. Really, that looks like a clean bargain for an 89.

I like it as well. Price seems fair and it's an 89

that is very very tempting! I love the color too (same as my first one) and the wheels. It looks like the fenders were rolled, and job done well. Clean inside and out. Damn. Need a timing belt job right now though - too long since the last and about 30k miles. Probably the other stuff too, fuel lines, power steering lines, vac hoses, etc. Still, great price for what looks like a well cared for car.

Very nice! Of course I'm biased.

It's been for sale for a while. I think it started out at $15K+. Can't believe it hasn't sold yet at $11,500.

Okay, sorry for my ignorance since my 88 doesn't have this, but what is the green "o" button (or light) in the a/c control?

I know the car, great color combo, it came from Florida no rust, overall very nice condition, needs the usual 20 years of differed maintenance, and a respray.

Only on the 89 year cars. It 'zeros' the trip odometer.

Why do you say it needs a respray? Would a good detail not suffice?

I was wondering the same thing. The paint quality on 928s is excellent. A good detail man with the right product and equipment can do wonders unless the damage is extreme.

It looks to me to be Extremely Sun faded on the top of the hood and roof, it was Florida car and looks like it sat out in the sun. So the sides are darker, I'm no painter so might be able to do a partial?

Other than that shes a nice stock example and sharp w/ the white w/ red piping.
I'd gladly do a PPI for anyone here that is serious.

Edit: it is stored in the same place where I store two of mine, I'll see if I have any pic's on my phone.

OK I only found these two and none w/ outside view
As can be seen from the Engine compartment she is unmolested and would clean up nicely.
Inside is clean too, the drivers door carpet is not dirty, just photoed that way.

Is that a dash with no cracks? I wonder what the black gator clip is for in the engine compartment?
I like this car.

That is the battery maintainer ground clamp, also if dash has any cracks they are very minor IIR.
