A little over a month ago now, I purchased a true one owner, California 1988 S4 5 speed with only 29K on it. It was a great color combo of red over tan with no ugly side moldings. He had all service records since new and even the original California title, but the positives pretty much ended there.
I've gotta tell ya', this one really put me thru my paces to return it to damn near concours condition. But it certainly didn't resemble a 29K car when I bought it, that's for sure. Mark at 928 Intl. can certainly verify that it's condition was less than perfect when I bought it, and danglerb just missed his shot at verification by one day!
It had alot of aftermaket crap like an Alpine CD player, an Alpine amp just laying on the passenger side floorboard, aftermarket wheels and so on. Personally, I hate aftermaket stuff, especially on low mileage 928's like this. And clean? Certainly not and very surprising for such a low mileage California car, but after alot of painstaking agony I finally put her all back to original by tracking down every little OCD thing that was missing, having it checked over from top to bottom by my tech, cleaning her beyond cleaning, and finally having it professionally buffed and waxed today at the local BMW dealership. They have the absolute best buff and wax guy I've ever come across. Anyway, I'm pretty proud of my month long project and the way it all finally turned out, that I'm throwing some pics on for your viewing and thoughts. Enjoy, or perhaps not.
