    ... yet another P-car. I had an empty bay in Plano since the Expedition does not fit in the garage.

    (ignore the price, we negotiated offline and ended it early)


    The two cars should look very cute together. Coral Red is a beautiful color in person. Hans Hoffman had a 964 Turbo in the same color, in case you've ever seen it. I've always wanted a 928 and this continues my infatuation with unusual reds (Rosso Barchetta versus Rosso Corsa)

    I love that car. My dad is looking (albeit casually) for a 928 so if you don't mind me asking did you get it anywhere near the price displayed on ebay? We really have absolutely no idea what the market is like so any help would be appreciated.

    Are those A/C vents in the console? If so, that should keep your elbows cool! And your chin.

    Cool you got a 5 spd, not many of those around.

    Beautiful 928!! That has to be bar none my 2nd favorite Porsche ever made!! 1st being the 993 Turbo S.

    My father has owned 4 of those & I'd really love to pick one of those up for myself sometime after I finish school.

    Thanks guys.

    Price - Good drivers of the S4 variety can be had for $10K-$15K. The car I picked goes for a lot more, unfortunately. Its a GT model, which is rare and carries a premium. GT models will usually sell for between $18K and $28K. Prices for all 928 models have held steady over the last 4 years and have actually increased over the last 2. At least 2 publications featured the car in the last couple of months on their 'Cars to Watch' list from a collectibility stand point. They are great values since most of the Porsche faithful scoff at water cooled, front engined cars despite the impressive performance.

    Those are A/C vents in the rear console. There are also vents in the doors/arm rests in the front. Apparently Germans have sweaty forearms.

    I'm also a big fan of the 993 Turbo S! One of my favorites as well, just behind the 1973 RS/RSR.

    Nice! I have always loved the 928. And the GT is just icing on the cake.

    Sweet, so are you going up to Ohio to pick it up or is it going to be shipped down here?

    Does it make me weird that I like the rear seats a lot?

    If it does then I just like them a little bit :)

    Congrats Rob! It looks really good

    Most likely ship it. Between gas, one night in a hotel, and a full weekend of time its probably not worth it to drive it down. It would probably be a fun trip, but just too time consuming.

    After hearing those 928's on the dyno at MSR you got the bug didn't you? I admit they sounded really good! Nice car Rob!
