928s for Sale

Hi guys, thanks for the welcome. I've been sniffing around 928s for a while. Got 'imprinted' by it when my uncle purchased one back in '79... I still get a little spine tingle when I see one in the flesh.
I just wasn't sure where it might fit in my stable in terms of driving experience. I've decided that I'd like to use it as my summer/fair weather daily driver. Thus, I'm looking for an automatic, well-maintained car. I am very comfortable doing any and all mechanical work, and I do for several classics, but I don't want this car to be having needs from the get go.
Have gravitated to the S4 as a sweet spot of the refreshed, more modern design and the availability of the auto. Really, really would a like a car that's been loved and maintained by an ardent enthusiast, with known history and records. I would absolutely appreciate and drink up all the TLC bestowed on one of these gems. That's how I am with my classics and I know what that is worth. Color-wise, looking for almost anything but red, black or silver.
I openly welcome your comments and thoughts about my selection... Luis

Thanks for the pointers guys. Yeah, the BAT one was black and I was not enthralled by a burgundy interior either. The classifieds still confuse me after 17 years on this forum; searching never seems to return anything but th one page of results in spite of entering "since beginning" or such, instead of the default 45 days... Anyway, Nate, thanks for those two pointers. I'm really diggin' that Diamond Blue. .. Yummy color. What do you all think the wire across the rad is for?? The bat... what...?? Translation please. The one in Miami, well... I may be irrational but I have a natural gut driven aversion to Florida cars, especially So. FL and a normally-neglected car like a 928... Call me silly...

Luis - you cannot go wrong with this one: https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=472078155&ownerId=71444641&searchRadius=0.
It is a rennlister's car (see Buccicone, his name is Mike). I have caravanned with that car and it is very nice, needs nothing, and priced right.
Edit - my mistake again, you said no red. Oh well, Mike's car is worth an exception!

'89 auto on ebay
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1989-Porsche-928-S4/273109069746?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649
He has pictured an added drive shaft clamp (amazing considering many do not even show the engine). Is anybody familiar with this clamp?
edit: I rec'd a prompt answer from the seller on the clamp: "The RiTech Clamp
was purchased through 928s R Us. Please let me know if you have any other questons."

The purpose of that wire is to let potential buyers know that the car has been worked on by a hack and that there are more problems that you cannot see.
Seriously: no way to know until someone who knows 928s PPIs it. But that wire is BIG and RED and not factory. Thus a red flag.
Since you are looking for an ‘87+ Auto you need to educate yourself on thrust bearing (TBF) and crank end-play measurement.

Somewhat odd 928 popped up in my neck of the woods... its a "1987 928 S"
https://indianapolis.craigslist.org/...531651863.html
Sitting on the inside it looks like an S4, but the outside looks like a pre 87 S. Wonder what under the hood?

Might be an 86.5
