Price: US $500.00

Description:

The 928 might have failed to replace the 911, but it is bold and beautiful, breaking the mold as Porsche's first clean sheet design.
Many savvy second-hand buyers less concerned with such high ideals as they were with the business of driving a fast, capable, sophisticated car at a fraction of list price snapped them up early on. These second owners enjoyed their 928s until something expensive broke or needed servicing, leaving the car looking a bit less bargain-like. Flipped onto third, fourth, and sometimes fifth owners, deferred maintenance, inexpensive (and incorrect) fixes, and plain old abuse has taken its toll on most used 928s, leaving it very difficult to find a clean, low-mileage, and unmodified car until very recently.
While the 356 and 911 are consistent good earners, the 928 has flown under the radar of many and now it is experiencing quite a rise in value. Over the past 3 years, prices have risen considerably according to many car enthusiasts, with S, S4, GT, and GTS models at the tip of this trend - in fact, these cars have seen closer to a 30% increase one year alone. With the earliest 928s now 35 years old, perhaps enough time has finally passed for all those cold hearts to grow fonder, similarly to how what has happened with the 914 over the past several years. Additionally, the level of engineering and performance a $20, 000 928 would have afforded you in 2006 was light-years ahead of anything available for similar money, a fact that can only be ignored so long before the market takes notice—car guys love to talk shop, after all, and what could be more satisfying than bragging about picking up a classic exotic for less than most of its' present day contemporary's?
With these recent market adjustments have come a deluge of more desirable used 928s, their careful second and third owners suddenly motivated to move on by the chance to finally sell for what they’ve always know their beloved cars are worth. Eager buyers await them in droves, and prices seem set to continue to rise for the foreseeable future—about time, we think.
Now you have this unique opportunity to purchase one of the cleanest, most original 928's available on the market today. While not not on the road, this car has spent its' life safe and quiet in a Southern California garage. Zero rust, and the paint is factory original in amazing shape with the leather interior being just as well. Nothing hacked up about this car, rubber is good and the engine is tight. All 90K mile service has been recently completed and the car is ready for the road. She enjoys cruising for admiration, but performs better with speed - just like a racehorse who loves to gallop. Smoke free, two owner car. This Porsche is a dream to own!!
