Hey lads I'm in my early 20s and I'm looking to get a nice analog car. I've been looking at maybe getting a 928, budget is 20k after including any maintainence/resto/etc that would need to be done. Y'all are saying auctions like BAT are terrible places to get classics at reasonable prices, where should I be looking instead?
Good luck with your search.

Well here's an example of a car that probably only a year ago would have fetched $15K-18K max. A US 1982 w/ a 3-speed auto. Arguably one of the least desirable years. This car, while only having 68K miles on the clock, was not all original, Grand Prix white, and not detailed before taking the auction photos. And despite that it sold today for $36K. Wow.

I found this 1987 in Wisconsin. It looks really clean (pics are terrible. He sent me a video). Recent tires TB/WP. Only downside I can see is broken odometer with 130k (TMU, guy said “it just happened”). He is firm at $17,900.

It may be a good car, but most will never know.

Meowsker: My .02 BUT the lower you go (Craigs) the more you must do homework and a PPI. It is a long way off (April), but Hershey/Carlyle is ideal if you can get there b/c the enthusiasts love to talk about their cars. They have a FS section, it's a swap meet, go early on Sat. You never know what will show up. Is there a local Cars & Coffee?
You might want to pony up the $17 bucks to join here, get some details in your sig line so people know where you are in case there is a local group of sharks near you. Hook up with them and get a ride; the diff MYs are different animals The Marketplace here is a great source.

I think the 928 community is holding itself back and cars like the 82 where not looked at fondly before and now we see such high numbers. The auction houses have a lot to do with these crazy prices. People seem to get carried away. I have seen it first hand at Gooding live when a friends 1992 turbo S sold for $2.2M a few years back. This is reminiscent of how it began with the 964 market but has escalated to a point that is beyond crazy. Cars I passed on 4-8 years ago are now up 500-600-700% or more.
A year ago a cobalt blue 964 C2 could barely sell for $65k today people are fighting over them at 6 figures. RSA sold for nearly $200k and 3.3T's which could barely sell for $110k last year are now over $225k. I think we are seeing some growth in the 928 market. It does have the disadvantage of being broken down into 2 main categories pre 86.5 and post as most see it. As where the air cooled seems to be broken down into 5 or so sub categories and people seem to search within a single category. I suspect if we don't keep our eyes open these will have gone crazy as they are still an affordable car to some. I picked up an early 83 944 for $1k 8 months ago and now I have people interested in it after a little work and it looks like I can get as much as $6k for it. I honestly had no interest in the car I just helped a friend out.
I think we will see the 928 market jump suddenly just be ready.

Now, he’s upped it to $18,900. he added more blurry pictures - he took pictures of pictures. I thought if something doesn’t sell over a period of time, one would LOWER the price to sell said object.

Since you're young, spend your time reading and obsessing in this technical forum (the best in all the car forums, including within Rennlist) and learn everything and ask everything.
Afterwards, spend some money buying one that needs some mechanical work and spend the rest of the leftover money on parts/interior. Worry about the paint when it runs and rides well.
People are generous with their time here. As long as you are enthusiastic, we will all help!

Welcome to the community, but I guess no one has the heart to tell you that you are at least 5-8 years too late in thinking you can get a $20k 928 with resto/maintnenace already done. Even the "least desirable" years ('80-'84) cars that are decent already commanding $10-15k with either mechanicals/paint/interior needs to be done (pick one to all three).
