A shameless plug but my 86.5 is in the final stretch on BaT. Most RL'ers visit BaT frequently but if someone has missed it here is the address.

Thanks

Good luck! I hope you do better than me, which my car only reached $11k

Thanks! - I wanted to wait until your auction was over before posting mine on RL. I was surprised at the auction end. I really thought yours would go for more and it appeared to be heading that way. Like linderpat posted, you need the right people in the room at the time. Yours is a really good candidate if someone with the time, tools and knowledge wants to jump in. Or they can take it to specialist and open their wallet. 5 speeds are more in demand so I'm sure the right person will see it & want it.

Slownrusty, everyone has an opinion on what they feel a "good" price is. I don't know what you paid on eBay less than a year ago for it but as the seller, I would have taken the $11k for that car. You set a reserve higher than that which is fine. It's your car. Sell it for whatever you want. But the market spoke. It needs every hose, wire, vacuum line, gasket, belt, dash console, and more....replaced. Not many people are willing to do that. If the pan gasket and TB/WP were complete with some new rubber hoses and plug wires most of the "immediate" needs would have been addressed and then a reserve of $xx+ would be reasonable. Again, my opinion. By the way, when you post on YouTube you can then see all the videos on your channel. The YouTube video from 8 months ago when you took delivery of the car showing all the broken parts and things that needed to be replaced and have not been touched (for 8months) didn't help.

I think your car looks fantastic - Good luck with the sale!

Just a heads-up: Your answer to the question regarding the axial play measurement may turn off more informed buyers. Granted, the question wasn't worded correctly (should be "crankshaft axial play"), but we know where they were going with it. Your shop should give you an actual measured number. That's what I would be looking for in your answer.

1981 Porsche 928 in Florida

$8500 in white no rubstrips

Beautiful classic 1981 Porsche 928S, in Grand Prix White / Tan. Manual Transmission.

Too many toys at the moment, no time to enjoy. Very cool, turns heads everywhere it goes. Great for Cars & Coffee, shows, or as a daily driver. Engine is simply incredible, pulls powerfully and smooooth from any gear. The important maintenance is all up to date, ready to be enjoyed.

• Original Florida car, never seen snow.
• Only 2 registered owners in its history.
• Clean Title, Carfax & Auto-Audit (History reports uploaded along with pictures in Link).
• All emissions equipment still intact and functioning (air pump, hoses, O2, and catalyst).
• Exterior Paint redone in original Porsche Grand Prix White a few years ago.
• OEM Porsche Cup 2 17” Wheels. (Tires dried from non-use, should be replaced by new owner)
• Grand Prix white (option-code 908) with Bronze Glass.
• Cashmere Beige Interior (option-code D1).
• Interior restored a few years ago by previous owner, in fantastic condition (100+ pictures in link). No dashboard cracks, instrument pod finished Porsche’s Napa leather.


Partial list of new parts and services.

• Timing belt done (oem-Flennor) & water pump done less than 2k miles ago. Engine is non-interference type.
• New Beru Ignition Wires, Cap, Rotor, Coil, and Spark plugs.
• Freshly serviced Manual Transmission with New Clutch. Once warmed up, it’s one of the easiest shifting early manuals in any Porsche 928.
• New Master Cylinder.
• New Brakes, Pads and Rotors all around.
• New Pan gasket (no oil leaks).
• New wiring harness from 928-International, along with new green wire.

Fair points and here is my take.

I paid $17.5k for the car, I was willing to sell it for $14k-$15k. I think that is an extremely fair price, currently on eBay and BaT there are zero 5-speed S4 cars for sale. A quick check on Autotrader reveals only two ( yes 2!) S4 Manuals the cheaper being $21k the second is $40k. So sure my car needs "catch-up" maintenance but it is bone stock, mechanically runs very well, all accessories work, never been messed with (i.e zero dodgy wiring or shoddy mechanics working on it) but the value is that third pedal. Having driven a grip of automatic 928s, the manual cars (especially the 32V cars) are in league by themselves.

In talking with the previous owner he paid $6k for the repaint and then $3.5k in receipts for work that I have, so I do not agree with your $11k being a fair price. If this car was sitting in your garage and someone offered you $11k, you would have a very different and possibly quite strong opinion. Yes I could have taken down the YouTube video when I bought the car earlier this year, but I have nothing to hide (zero agendas) and as you can tell from my YouTube channel, I know my stuff, I've been dong this for a long time and I enjoy helping my fellow buddies.

I would buy that today if I had the money, but I'm sure someone else will have snapped it up before I can get something arranged. It looks amazing though, good luck with the sale!

Cameron

I have a call in on this one - White Miami Car. Hope I jump back in to 928 ownership with this one!

abrescia

Seems too good to be true. The interior work alone is worth 10k. Plus a manual, plus low miles- hope it’s legit!

Jeremy Mote

If legit you could flip it for 17-18k if you're willing to wait, 15k on BaT almost guaranteed

BlauerStahl

I just looked at my calendar and it is not April 1, 2009, so that eliminates this Miami car as either an April fool's joke or someone in south Florida needing cash because of the recession. I asked myself two questions about this listing: is the price a typo? Do I need a bigger garage? If the answer to the first question is "no" then the answer to the second question is "YES". I can see the BaT listing for spring 2020 in my head now "seller acquired the car 6 months ago in Florida and added 500 miles. Recent work includes (long list goes here)......". Then sells for 2X plus.

I didn't see this discussed anywhere, so hopefully this isn't a repost. Looks like a decent car, off-site from copart's auction house. No damage noted other than wear and tear.

Pete, I am thrilled to have won your 928S today.

PS, I had no idea I had an account here going back to 2006...
