Default 86.5 5 speed up out of reach!

With all the rising values I decided to put my near perfect 70,000 mile 86.5 Grand Prix white on perfect black interior 5 speed up out of my reach. It is so easy to hop in and drive that I needed a little help to slow me down.

A sample size of one is not an accurate representation of what these cars are actually worth. Just drive it an don't worry.

Saving it for the next person makes no sense. Every single client I have drives their cars...regardless of the mileage or condition. Drive it and enjoy it.

Hmmm....
Not a bad idea but you'll have to watch out for very tall people who may still want the occasional joy ride.......
Sheeesh. You know how annoying tall people can be ! ! ! ! !

I enjoy the S4 with 200,00 plus on it.

Milage does not bother me. It is the rock chips and door dings that cannot be repaired perfectly without respray.

Now that it is up high, You need to get another one to park underneath. I like your cave by the way. One of my problems has always been that I move around so much, I can't ever have a nice garage with a lift like that.

first off, let's see some more pictures of it, inside and out. It looks like a beauty!
Second, I understand your dilemma. I am going through the same thought process with my car. It has slightly less miles than yours but is a 78 (per year miles lower). The problem is that neither your car nor mine are low mile cars. They are lower mile cars, but not low. Anyway, for as much as I feel compelled to use mine sparingly, when I drive it I love it, so it is hard to not drive it. I have another sports car for regular driving too, altho not a 928. I have been thinking about another shark, so that I can let mine sit more, guilt free.

I do have a little shuffling to my madness. Now the 86.5 is the out of immediate choice.

If I were doing my garage over again I would have 1 four post and one two post lift rather than 2 four posters. Four post is better for storage but as you show, you can store on a two post. Plus the two post is much better for maintenance
