You are bidding on a nice clean low mile (ODO indicates 45,764) driver quality 928.
It runs strong with no smoke or unusual oil consumption. The tires are 90% (Riken Raptors) and the wheels are factory original. The interior is in very good condition with wear commensurate with it's age and low miles; no rips tares or excess wear and shows very well (dash shows some warping of the leather around the defrost vents but is otherwise clean). All glass is in excellent condition. All heat, vent, interior/exterior lighting, power windows, and vacuum power lock systems work well.
The headlight washers work fine, but the windshield washer pump needs to be replaced. A/C needs service. The cruise control engages, but is intermittent. Shifts from 1st to 2nd crunch a bit, but only when the trans axle is cold (if you have done your homework you know that this is a common problem with the early models), but shifts fine after warm up. Handling is fantastic and in my opinion this is one of the best handling models that Porsche ever built (I recently replaced the tie rods, front wheel bearings and engine shocks). It is the base model with the posi option so it does well in the snow. I has had a recent re-spray and looks very presentable. Comes with a late model Alpine Stereo/CD.
This car is one of my very frequent drivers and has never let me down. Again, do some research and you will find that these cars are solid with some great testimonials about there longevity and dependability. This is the true average guys super car! Feel free to call me and check my feedback! Mike 719-491-1295

Porsche 959 Prototype started it all
Wed, 11 Sep 2013While Porsche was unveiling the new Nürburgring-dominating 918 Spyder downstairs in Hall 3 here at the Frankfurt Messe, there was another Porsche supercar quietly and discretely on display upstairs in the same hall. That, of course, was the 959. But not just any 959: this was the original Gruppe B prototype.
The 959 was first developed as a rally car in the early 80s to compete with the likes of the original Audi Sport Quattro S1, Ford RS200 and Lancia Delta S4. But Zuffenhausen soon saw its potential as a production road-going supercar, emerging as a technological marvel to challenge the decidedly linear approach of the Ferrari F40. It still stands as a groundbreaking supercar in its own right, but also lead to the first all-wheel-drive 911 Turbo and set the stage for the Carrera GT and aforementioned 918 Spyder that followed to cap the top of the evolving Porsche range.
This original Gruppe B prototype, which presaged the production 959, packed a 450-horsepower 2.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six into an even sleeker form than the final version that followed. We caught up with it on display as part of a display of 80s German classics, of which this 959 prototype immediately stood out as the pick of the proverbial litter. Check out the hotness in the high-resolution image gallery above.
40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
Preparing for Le Mans 2014 Porsche remembers 1971 and the 917 [w/video]
Sun, 07 Apr 2013Porsche has given us another look back at its successes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This time it's 1971, the year that its 917 set records that haven't all been eclipsed. It's 45-kilogram magnesium tube frame was the lightest, Jackie Oliver set the fastest in-race lap with a time that still stands, and winning drivers Helmut Marko - the same Helmut Marko currently with Infiniti Red Bull Racing - and Gilles Lethem did so many laps that their distance wasn't exceeded until the Audi R15 TDI did it in 2010.
1971 was also the year of the "Pink Pig." With bodywork created by a French aerodynamics firm, the wider, rounder 917 earned the porcine moniker so Porsche painted it pink and labeled it with the cuts you'd get from a pig. Sponsor Martini was so miffed they demanded all Martini branding be removed. No one can remove the thousands of photographs taken of the car ever since. Enjoy that and more in the video below.
