Default Dang- Waited too long

Finally at the point where I am seriously shopping for a 87 - 91 S and now I see I waited too long.
Once PCNA sends out that email telling us how trendy 928s will become ($$$$) I know I've waited too long.

Ahh well, still in the hunt.

cheers

Craig

It's only because the 87 to 91 928S is exceedingly rare. Maybe a unicorn.

Yea, regret I sold my '87 5sp lsd, with sport seats in 2007 for less than I should have.

Actually trying to track it down (hunting it down...) I think it's in GA now but not sure...

Mrmerlin, very nice looking example.

I need to check my bank as I like to pay cash, but don't think it will fit with some other projects I have.

Good luck with the sale, I'm sure you'll get the asking price.

Oh hell, that's well done Stan.
Interior looks great too. I like those mats, good touch.

Not sure I see any point in buying Stan's car when you can buy a heap for half that price, spend twice as much putting it right and not drive a mile for the next two years while you do it!

Stan- that car is a real credit to you- stunning.

Were those very nice pics taken in your backyard or the local cemetary [or both]?

That engine bay alone is worth $10k and I am talking about the outward appearance of it with new accessories never mind the motor itself [56k miles!]. In a market that is seeing values increase and especially so for manual trannies this one is a no brainer.

Any serious 928 wannabbe just go for it- no need for further debate on that one. Not many like that around at any price never mind who fettled it. More magic from another wizard called Merlin!

Thanks, I'm looking for a "tippy" car.
