1995 Porsche 928GTS

Nice car. But, is this a typo?
$9500 not $95,000, right?

 

I'd like an ounce of what they're smoking, please....

 

Tough crowd.

It is a ~17K mile example of a Porsche that wasn't typically preserved as collectible, and IIRC the last of the line and best.

The price is steep, but $9500 is for a clapped out 90K-mile driver. Which this isn't.

 

Looks to be priced competitively compared to the other two 928 GTS' on eBay right now.

 

Buy a new Boxster S and save $20k.

 

I think he meant that it's closer to $9500 than $95000 (tongue in cheek). It is the last and best and should be priced accordingly, but jeez, that's crazy money for that car. Damn, buy a F550 and still have money for the first major!

 

I started a thread on the valuation of this car at Rennlist and apparently this is close to market correct (they were guessing $75-85k for this one). I was surprised to say the least.

the $100k GTS's are lower mileage, and/or manuals.

 

My father in law just sold a higher mileage automatic 928 GTS, didn't get anywhere near this price. If he had, there would probably be a 997 twin turbo in the garage instead of an 03 SL55.

 

too bad its a slushbox....

 

Agree.

Nice mint example though.

$39K and 39K miles..........automatic.

That is realistic..........

$109K and 19K miles for a sunroof delete 5 speed

That is a joke.

My two cents.......

 

Is this Tony's car?

 

C'mon, guys... read the 'options' list...

Porsche Crest valve stem caps

Spare keys


It's worth every penny of $95k.

 

OP: did you buy this car from Dirk? Would also appreciate credit for quoting the production info you did lift from my website........

It's always interesting to see how folks react to the current market prices of a low mileage 928 GTS.

It should be mentioned that I own/run www.928registry.org and have the other 95 GTS currently on eBay.

Couple facts:

Only 77 1995 928 GTSs were built for the North American market. Of the 77, 47 are automatic trans cars and 30 have a 5-speed. The 5-speed is far and away the more desireable option.

Porsche only built 406 GTSs from 1993 (there are two years of the 93 GTS as it was built during the 92 MY and the 93 MY). Of the 406 GTSs for NA, only 167 of them have 5-speed tranmissions.

The high water mark for a low mileage 5-speed GTS is $114,500. It was a 6k mile silver/black one owner GTS sold by Willhoit.

There are 3 or 4 others that have sold ~$100k over the last couple years. Few I know but, with the low production numbers there are few low mileage examples left.

I sold my 95 GTS 5M for more than the original MSRP of $86k in November 2007 and bought it back in March of 2009. I bought mine from the original owner so I'm the 2nd and the 4th owner.

The valuation books/sites (including Excellence Magazine) are far from accurate and usually not representative of what cars are selling for.

High mileage examples are tough to sell and rarely draw $ anywhere close to what these near perfect examples will.

 

I definitely don't have the expertise to comment on the price, but a midnight blue/grey 5-spd GTS is a dream car to me. Just beautiful.

Willhoit appears to be the "go to" source for a 928 GTS (?).

another midnight blue 5-spd GTS? Wow. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1-30-1995-928-GTS-5-speeds-13-3k-miles-Midnight-Blue-Classic-Grey-/160721432858?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item256bbe711a#ht_14646wt_1165

(don't know what I think about the rims)

 

I had no idea these were worth that much. Not saying theyre not so dont shoot me Just unbelievable.

Chuck, know of any in Canada?

 

Willhoit has most definitely driven the market on GTS values.

Well, that would be my GTS. Wheels are definitely a personal choice. I will say that I have gotten 8 emails from people wanting to know where I got them and what size they are....... Original wheels/tires included with sale.

It's all about rarity and production numbers. The 928 was the first "clean sheet of paper" design for Porsche and with only 406 ever produced for the NA market, it is one of the rarest Porsches ever!

What's happening these days in Canada is, people are importing Japanese 928s. The restrictions on importing are different than in the US and it is relatively easy to import these cars into Canada. If your a 928 enthusiast it's a great thing b/c the Japanese cars were built in some really cool colors (again a personal taste, I like wild colors b/c everything these days is either black, white, silver or gray - how boring!!!) and optioned really well unlike most of the later NA cars.

There are a few NA GTSs in Canada but they are few and far between.

 

It's an extremely beautiful car Chuck - the rims are very nice as well - they just surprised me when I first saw the pictures. No offence intended at all.

 

Wilanast from fchat has an amazing gts. The color, condition and history make it very special. He owns several very valuable machines but he might suggest the gts is in a very exclusive league. I will see if he will post in this thread. I am sure his car is coveted and NOT for sale. Ever!!!!

 

There are more than a few GTS examples that come up for sale from time to time. I've been watching the market closely for a while now and if you looked over a 12 month period you'd find 10-15 listed for sale in a year easily in the US. You've just gotta be really, really, patient and watch the market. Obviously, folks can pay whatever dollar amount they want, for whatever vehicle they want, but you've got to be crackers IMHO to buy one of these things @ those higher prices. I'd never pay more than $40K for a good one, because I'd drive the damn thing almost daily 9 months of the year, miling it out, and doing that will eventually cost you $3-5K a year on an annualized basis over time............20 year old cars are not cheap as we all know, and 928's never were cheap to repair and maintain, ever.

I sold the GTS for 4 years when they were new (92-94) and had both a 5 speed and an auto as my demo at one point. I wish I could buy my 5 speed demo......it was Gloss Black on Magenta (full leather comfort seats) with matching carpets and upper dash trim all in Magenta. What a horny color combo.......you just opened the door and people on the street would fall over from the glare of the interior color.

Here's a 964 interior in Magenta with Rootwood trim.......the tint in this photo is perfectly accurate of the actual color.

Thanks for the input chuck!

I too like the wheels you put on. Tastefully done!

 

None taken. Thanks.

 

If $40k is your limit, chances are it will not be a "good one"....... They are out there for sure but, the saying "you get what you pay for" has never been more true than when it comes to a 928. I've owned 928s for the last 20+ years and I can tell you that they are no more expensive to maintain than any other sportscar IF it's been properly maintained its entire life.
