Hey Honer - The 86 928 you mentioned for sale in Denver is probably twice the car we looked at down toward Waxahachi last week. After listening to the sales pitch - I gathered that it had been initially worked on by a questionable garage and the bills kept adding up faster than a reliable heartbeat could be reestablished. One other issue casually mentioned by the owner was that there was an old mechanic's lien lurking somewhere in the background.
I had told my buddy before we arrived that we'd hear at least one of the well known and notoriously famous catch phrases used to try and sell a "NEEDS SOME TLC PORSCHE. "It ran fine when parked and just needs a tune up" - "The (rock hard/split) seats just needs some conditioner and the (faded/peeling) repaint will buff out" - "Another guy is supposed to be bringing over the cash this afternoon" . We hit the trifecta
There are some nice 928's around if you take the time to look. I've see several new owners jump the gun a bit and talk themselves into buying a project before doing their homework. The sad part is that their baby is still sitting under a tarp disassembled 3 years later.
I think that a well sorted out 928 Porsche is one of the few super cars still available to the working man.
