1988 Porsche 928 S4: 55k Orig. Miles, Gorgeous, Well Maintained Original Example on 2040-cars
Santa Barbara, California, United States
Offered for sale is a striking, 55k original mile,
mechanically strong, 1988 Porsche 928 S4, finished is its factory correct and menacing
Black over Burgundy leather. Ordered new by its original owner in New York, he
would own the car for more than a decade, always keeping it garaged and
maintained with sparing use (it had only accumulated 37k miles in 11 years or service).
The car made its way out to the West Coast in 2002 and has been here since, always used as cherished a weekend driver. Consequently, the 55k miles showing
on the odometer are correct and documentable via Carfax and the car’s stamped
service booklet, which is included. When the 928 first hit the showroom floor, it was
absolutely the car to have. As Porsche’s first seriously expensive GT car, the
928 drew the ire of Porsche enthusiasts worldwide upon its announcement. But as
soon as they realized it wasn’t built to replace the beloved 911 (just to compliment
it in an enthusiast’s garage), opinions changed. A big V8 Autobahn bomber, the
928 was far more civilized than the 911, boasting big comfortable seats, power
everything, usually an automatic transmission and all the Star Wars/Reagan era
futuristic design elements that a successful 1980’s man could ask for. From
Cannes to Beverly Hills, if you were somebody you would have walked into a
dealership and bought a 928 S4 new. Whether taking a vacation trip from Milan
to Monaco or going from Los Angeles to San Francisco on business, the 928 was
(and arguably still is), the car of choice, providing a wonderful drive quality
without frustrating your wife. It’s a true GT cruiser; extremely comfortable
with a V8 that has great torque, making smooth, enjoyable driving effortless.
Furthermore, in following with Porsche’s legendary legacy, the handling is
great and the looks are timeless. The Black finish is in excellent condition, deep,
lustrous and marred only by the most negligible of imperfections, none of which
are significant enough to register in the pictures. The car’s body is entirely
straight, free of any evidence of body work, and all of the panel fits and gaps
are consistent and factory correct. The glass and rubber is excellent original
shape, as are the original alloy wheels, wrapped in tires with plenty of
remaining tread. The car’s interior is equally as clean, the burgundy leather
seats and carpets showing only minimal wear. The power sunroof, power seats,
power windows, power rear hatch locking device and all of the other electronics
work exactly as they should, and the car has a more modern, Blaupunkt Montreal
CD player. Aside from the sound system, everything on the car is stock – it
hasn’t been modified in any way. The car is also strong mechanically, feeling like a
tight, well-maintained, 55k mile example should. Despite its relatively low
miles, the car was always regularly driven and serviced and always garaged and
professionally detailed. It starts effortlessly, producing a low rumble to
announce its 316hp 5.0L V8. It’s smooth through all of the gears, pulling with
incredible force when asked. With its quiet cabin and even drive quality, it’s
very easy to look down at your gauges on the freeway and realize you’re doing
95mph when you assumed you were only a hair over 70. Despite the fact it’s a
front engine V8, it’s still a Porsche and it performs with poise in the canyons
as well as on the freeway. This is an excellent opportunity at one of the cleanest 928 S4s on the market. With vintage Porsches appreciating faster than any other marque (save for Ferrari), the outlandish numbers that 356s and 911s have been realizing have made the 928 a legitimate and unique collector’s car. Tasteful colors, impeccable condition, low miles, 5.0L engine, etc. etc…if you’ve been looking for one at a fair and market appropriate price, it would be hard to find a better example. We want this car to go to great home and would be happy to further
discuss it and answer any questions, so please feel free to email us or call us
at 805-202-4557. You can also visit us online at GoodmanReed. Goodman Reed Motorcars We’ve always had an appreciation for classic European cars and over the
years have created an eclectic personal collection. We only buy cars that we’d
personally be interested in owning and generally only sell them to make room
for other acquisitions. That time has come for this Porsche (if the price is
right, of course – this isn’t a fire sale). We try to give accurate
descriptions of the cars we’re selling, but we’re enthusiasts, not experts, and
we encourage and are happy to help facilitate personal or professional
inspections. But please do so before bidding, as the alternative harms our
ability to make sales to other interested parties who have done their proper
due diligence before bidding. For
U.S. buyers a 10% non-refundable deposit is required within 3 days of the
auction’s end, the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction’s end.
Foreign buyers must pay in full within 7 business days of the auction’s end.
Buyer is responsible for shipping, however we’d be more that happy to help with
recommendations and arrangements. The car is listed locally and we reserve the
right to end the auction at any time should it sell prior to auction’s end.
Thanks for your interest. |

Porsche's latest Driver's Selection keeps enthusiasts happy at home
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Porsche fans - and there are certainly plenty of them out there, even in here on the Autoblog editorial staff - can be pretty emphatic about their enthusiasm, insisting that the 911 is the very definition of the sportscar. And for some, merely admiring one from afar or even leaving theirs parked outside isn't enough. For just such enthusiats, Porsche Design has expanded its Driver's Selection with some tantalizing additions for the home and office.
First up is a desk chair made from the bucket seat in a 911 Carrera, which we have to admit we'd rather be sitting in right now over this blasted, rather unexciting ergonomic office chair. It's covered in black leather (the same you'd find inside an actual 911) embossed with the Porsche emblem and features electronic backrest adjustment.
There's also a wall shelf made from the carbon-fiber rear spoiler a 911 GT3 Cup racecar that can support up to 264 pounds of downforce in the form of books, trinkets and whathaveyou. And there's a limited-edition resin model of the 918 Spyder in 1:8 scale. The items haven't hit the Porsche shop just yet, so we don't have pricing information, but if they tickle your fancy, the online store has plenty more to offer.
Parents of terminally ill child sue after son dies following make-a-wish-style ride
Wed, 30 Jul 2014Some stories are so sad and depressing, they make you want to go back to bed and pull the covers over your head. This is one such story. 14-year-old Raphael Wittman was suffering from an unspecified form of terminal cancer when he was invited by the children's cancer charity Kinder Krebs Hilfe to a charity drive organized by Porsche Forum Austria. During the drive, the Porsche Boxster Wittman was riding in was involved in a head-on collision. Both of his legs were broken and he bit off his tongue in the wreck. He died seven weeks later, in a Vienna hospital. Now, his father is suing the charity, claiming that the accident robbed his son of the will to live.
"The accident set off a chain of events starting with the doctors putting him on new medication for the cancer he had. He was always a fighter, but suddenly he was saying that he was not going to fight any more," Franz Wittman told Austria's Kurier, according to The Guardian. "We would have had a wonderful last time together [on vacation] but it never happened because of the accident."
Father and son were originally planning to go to Tenerife to spend time together, although those plans were cancelled following the accident.
Jaguar F-Type squares off against Porsche 911, Aston V8 Vantage with Chris Harris
Fri, 21 Jun 2013Chris Harris is back on the job, taking on really really difficult car questions like: Which enormously sexy and good-to-drive, high-performance convertible is the top of the heap? As one of the hottest cars in the luxury space right now, the Jaguar F-Type S is, of course, in on the action. Competition comes in the form of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster and the Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet. Sun-loving CEOs who despise test-driving need look no further.
Scroll on below for a fully featured (with a running time of more than 20 minutes) comparison video. Harris does his best to entertain - in a typically nitpicky and made-up-British-words fashion - and the moving pictures are lovely to look at. Kick back, pour a pint and get your weekend started off right.
