PomBstard Posted 22March, 2020 Report Share Posted 22March, 2020 (edited) It’s a sad day, but it’s time to look to move my S4 on. I’ve had it coming up to 4 years, have thoroughly enjoyed it, and have had a reasonable bit of work done. Its a UK car that was imported about 10 years ago, and is a proper everyday car - not a garage queen or track car but a reliable, easy-to-drive fun car. White body with full black leather interior. Lots of receipts and records of work done, all of it by Bruce and Sean at Buchanans, which is local to me. Most significant of the work done is an engine-out, under bonnet refurb. Heads off and cleaned, bores checked, valves spruced, new gaskets. Also replaced all rubber/plastic items under the bonnet, new radiator, and custom header tank. It’s all shiny in there! Fitted with new clutch, specific for 87 S4 from Porsche Germany at the time of refitting the engine. Gearbox has been removed, checked, leaks fixed, and refitted. Steering rack, sunroof, rear hatch, seat electrics, dash lights have all been refurbed. There are a handful of things to be done, though nothing that stops this from being a great fun, daily driver. Top of the list would be to fix the AC, and it’ll probably need the rear half exhaust in the next year or so. Paintwork is only fair, though the interior is pretty good with the seats being supportive and unmarked. Last serviced Oct 2019, rego to September 2020 and its on full NSW rego, not Historic. I’ve not yet put it on Carsales and would prob put it on for a price somewhere around $58/59k. If anyone on here is interested, feel free to call me on 0439 569 506 - cheers Lee Edited 22March, 2020 by PomBstard Realigning photos bear924, Bluegus73, Harsh and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stepo Posted 23March, 2020 Report Share Posted 23March, 2020 I don't know the 928's back to front but most I've looked at are auto. A manual 8cyl Porsche sounds the goods, best of luck with your sale. PomBstard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 23March, 2020 Report Share Posted 23March, 2020 The 928 interior set the tone for the next 25 years, and that one looks great in black. Seems like the one to buy if you’re in the market. Bluegus73 and PomBstard 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PomBstard Posted 23March, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 23March, 2020 Thanks for the comments - and if anyone’s got any queries, just drop me a note Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PomBstard Posted 23March, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 23March, 2020 Car now advertised on Carsales, though if anyone wants to buy a flat in Manly, I might yet get to keep the 928...!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PomBstard Posted 28April, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 28April, 2020 Well, it looks like I might have done a deal on this - though it all feels a bit provisional, price agreed but still awaiting deposit. A generally very enthusiastic chap who seemed reasonably clued up. I’m expecting the deposit to now be subject to some sort of PPI, but we’ll see what happens. Had a good response considering the lack of movement of the population, albeit lots of dreamers rather than keeners. I’ll be happy if the sale goes through, but no overly sad if it doesn’t...!! chris_f 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PomBstard Posted 30April, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 30April, 2020 And as, almost, expected - he’s pulled out. Tried to renegotiate the price and then claimed he needed to sell his car first. I don’t have any nice words for this approach to life, as a seller you have to follow each lead to its logical conclusion... Time wasted, expectations raised, but car still with me...😁 Had a lovely drive in it this morning too, out and back before the rain Troubleshooter, firstone, DJM and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PomBstard Posted 12June, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 12June, 2020 Well, that didn’t go very well at all. Apart from the dreamers and the Best-Price-Innit-Bruvs who between them were disappointed it wasn’t showroom fresh or available for half the asking price, I couldn’t see what I was going to replace it with. So, for now, I’m keeping it. I’m sure we all agree it’s for the best...!! ANF, Rob, Stepo and 6 others 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
