Huh, mid-year '92 production, Italian market. Missing the pliers, screwdriver, center cap tool, muffler tips, some of the rear bumper cover plugs radio, and bummer RE: alarm LEDs cut into the center console. But beautiful color combo and condition, glad it sold well! Don't see rear leather seats very often.

Yup. All 928s are now worth double what they were worth on Tue. Lock it up, double your demand price now.

The last two auction sales on the GTS's have me thinking my 95 GTS 5 speed with 58K miles is underinsured. Great to see them appreciated in the market.

So 2.5x the value of an automatic... That is stupid beyond words! Either that car went for way to much or the auto's are WAY WAY undervalued!

It's a simple numbers game, how many 5-speed GTS cars are out there compared to auto's?

The demand for manual transmission cars is off the charts all over the car market. Local guy recently picked up a manual Murcielago because he saw the values of them vs the flappy paddle versions skyrocketing and wanted in before they were untouchable.

Many collectors I know will never buy an automatic of any car, no exceptions unless a manual was not an option.

^^^ Certainly applies here.

60 GTS's here in Oz total ... 4 five speeds (one of each year).

Interestingly, I think that close to 40% of North American GTS's were manual, so they aren't that much rarer in the US.

No need to think: what does The Registry indicate?
