Since you ask, my first thoughts are that it's either my old eyes or a trick of the light, but that photo shows up all that is wrong with the 928 from a style perspective. clutch-monkey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez, 928s are worth big $ overseas and one like this with low km would be well into $100k overseas....

I’m looking for a solid 997.2 which makes me wonder .. why is it that 997.2 prices are still so high? Most “S” models are hovering around 150k . I could buy a 991 for that much cash Don’t be afraid to make an offer, you might be surprised, it’s an awesome car, I traded it on a GTS. edgy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if it was a 78 manual green with Pasha, then maybe Yes, if it were the holy trinity of S1, manual and Pasha trim... it’d be far more compelling. 1 hour ago, ANF said: Why is it ridiculous, just because it's not a 911!! Geez, 928s are worth big $ overseas and one like this with low km would be well into $100k overseas.... Because relatively speaking, it is a huge ask for what it is... it’s got nothing to do with the 3 numeric characters that define its model... I have no problem expressing my thoughts on the plethora of $100K+ SC’s and 3.2’s... they are f*cking dreaming. Shit, maybe we need to start using gender neutral terms around here when we talk about Porsche, in case we potentially offend other members .. 😂 GC9911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like there’s another just the same around the corner for less Agree.... its certainly not my thing, but I can appreciate that it looks in great nick & you’re very unlikely to bump into something at a C&C with the same colour scheme ..... and compared to what people are paying for other cars (P & non-P cars) it is probably a fair price point. Of course you can ask whatever you want.... its what you GET that matters! Harold996tt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobbo Posted 15May, 2019 Report Share Posted 15May, 2019 There was a white 1980 928 for sale recently on ebay , seller claimed the 1980 year build was the rarest and it was insured for $45000. It failed to meet reserve and was passed in at $20300. It was nowhere near as nice as that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the thing ... out of curiosity.. what is a good start point offer on a car without insulting ? I looked at a 997 4S on the weekend that was originally listed for 125k ( a low k blue one on Carsales) , then he reduced the price to 120, then 115 and he rang me and offered it to me for 100 k i never made an offer as it’s a non PDK auto .. shoule one start at 30k below asking price ? 5 hours ago, Shedpest said: Expensive garden art http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/1218278113?utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=app_ios&utm_medium=social&utm_source=sms I wouldn’t pay more than $1000 for that 23 hours ago, edgy said: This is superb - https://classicthrottleshop.com/1980-porsche-928-cashmere-beige/ But $80k and automatic...
