Car looks nice and clean, price may be a tad high though. But really, how much selection of 928s do you have in Saskatoon anyway?

I live in Ontario from what the guy has told me.


Timing belt and water pump should probably done in another 30,000 or 40,000 km or so.

No leaks. Dash is cracked. Leather is excellent. No cracks or chips in windshield. Sunroof is jammed, but motor and electrical is fine....needs to be taken apart and unjammed some day.

Body has not one speck of rust. Original paint. Paint chips on nose and minor scratches and stuff. Two dents each the size of a quarter or so......hard to see unless you are looking for them. In other words, body is in good shape, car looks quite sharp.

wow.. thank god I have a 16v. What parts bring up the price so much? From an outward observer it seems like a few gaskets and seals would do the trick. good to know

if you do some research on an intake refresh of an 87 or newer you will see lots of parts to replace as well as recoating the cam covers and the intake.

NOTE skipping replacing single parts usually results in an intake redux part 2 so
Spark plug wires, caps and rotors,
crank position sensor,
new fuel injectors 4 hole
TPS,
8 spark plugs,
5 oil block off pins for the cam journals,
new tensioner pads for the cam chains
2 knock sensors
1 hall sensor,
new fuel lines,
intake gaskets,
ISV,
MAF rebuild,
New MAF boot and plastic connectors
new O 2 sensor
various rubber vent hoses,
new oil fill spout,
new flappy pod,
new cam cover gaskets and seals,
new thermostat and seals as well as the water bridge seals if leaking.
new vacuum line end rubbers
