If you tried you could not RESTORE one for less than that and you can never "restore" the odometer

That is sharp. And not a bad price considering what the same $$ buys today and how it will depreciate but your shark won't!

^^^ What he said.

Bottom feeder says; 'worth every penny' on this one.

Tell them they need some engine bay pics. Really frustrates me because I"m sure it's near flawless in there as well.

If you can please get some engine pics Malcolm. This has to be one of the lowest mileage S4s I have seen. Wow.

Lots of detail pics underhood and interior, please- digital film is cheap! I'm intrigued by that greenish sticker (I think?) across the ashtray.

Everything is probably still routed properly, cars like this are increasingly important for reference.

The 928 will depreciate at least as much as a regular car if you put miles on it, starting from that high. With high miles they are not worth much these days, as I am learning.

Yup, that is the rub with bubble cars. If it goes over ~10-15k miles, the value will plummet.

No real solution to it, if one buys it for bubble value, then put it in an air controlled garage and stare at it. Or - buy it, drive it, enjoy it and depr be damned.

$60000 usd for this car! C'mon, someone picks this up! Doc, can't you sell some of your plane stuff to finance this? I bet you don't even have to!
