from the pictures the car looks like its in good condition,
but its gonna need a bunch of work to bring it to DD status,
the engine looks low so MMs now plus its possibly due for the top end refresh,
along with the trans cooler lines and OPG ,
and lots of other small things it all adds up,
plus a T belt inspection replacement if its not current

No need to fly out, pretty sure one of us locals have looked over each of them. None of those cars are appealing at or close to the asking prices after a brief look.

Mrmerlin has seen lots and lots and lots of 928's. Its kind of like Spock, his guess is better than the hands on inspection of many.

If there is one expert on this site, it is MRMERLIN!!!! He has really helped me with the timing belt I did. He must know every bolt in the car!
