For those of you who don't visit the "... English and Français" forum, but who might have some suggestions on helping us eventually buy a 928...

Why not look south? Good 928s are very hard to find, especially if you want a 5-speed, not an automatic. Seems to me by limiting your search to your area you're really cutting yourself off from the supply.

 

Yep and 80% of them for sale here are simply parts cars, and only 20% of what were built had 5spds. So you must widen your search if you want a decent 5 spd.

Personally I would buy the best car you can find regardless if its auto or manual.

 

There's an 89 S4 on the members for sale right now. Seller's handle is Finally. PM me if you want to pursue it and I'll try connecting you.

 

We are not really ready to buy right-away... unless the perfect deal presents itself. I am trying to get an idea of what that perfect deal (or an almost perfect deal) might be so we can jump on it one day when we are ready and it presents itself. Have got a lot of interesting advice on the thread;

I have been looking south... Andre Hedrick's car as discussed on the 928 forum would be perfect... but it is in California and I am not yet convinced that it is the perfect deal what with the shipping cost and complications... and I don't even want to think about driving it across the continent in the winter.
So I figured it doesn't cost anything to ask around locally. I have been following Craigslist and Kijiji for Quebec and Ontario also.

 

I noticed the thread by finally!... he's asking about 5 times more than we have to spend up front... we are looking for a project. A resurrection or a runner that can be improved over time.

 

Andres car is a steal.

Locally teds supercharged 85 is the best deal atriums here.

 

Ted's car is an excellent one. Well sorted out and ready to be driven but if you are still in the "tire kicker" stage than you are missing out on a very good car.

 

Thanks for the props guys, Elgy here is the link to my ad if you want to take a peek.

I would say that looks more like a donor engine for Steves car if he could figure out how to get it here. Should be able to fire it up and do a good engine test .. Steve this is your answer my friend..

 

Steve sold his car.

 

noo way ouch .. ... i know he was looking to do this .. oh well .. whoever bought it then has a good lead on an engine

 

Hey, I grew up in Nanaimo... still have family there... but it's a loooong way from Montreal!

 

Rod (Gaugeman69) bought it, we just finished pulling the engine 20 min. ago.
