Entire Porsche Service Manual on discPorsche 997 factory Turbo Twist Rims 8 x 10 rear 8 x 8 front History: In 2001 I started my search for this car. My search criteria was simply blue exterior, tan interior and a manual transmission. After almost two years of searching I found the car in California. I spoke with the then owner, a county councilman. He owned the car for over a decade of gently driven, dealer serviced, garaged miles. As i live on the opposite coast, the owner sent many pictures. Liking what I saw, I had a professional survey done...all good. Next I sent a 928 specialty shop (Precision Motor Works) just outside LA and had the car completely serviced costing almost $7,000.00. After tag and titling it I got a 1 way ticket to LAX, got picked up at the airport within a few hours began my 3000 mile coast to coast road trip home. I drove very softly until I passed the Cumberland Gap and was in Maryland. I then sped up to 165 for the one and only time I checked the cars top speed. (The S4 model set the world land speed record at Bonnieville for a production car clocking in at over 171 MPH. Made it from Los Angeles to Baltimore in just over 40 hours Sent the car to Valley Porsche (dealership) for another check out oil change and new timing belt re-tensioned, where it was serviced exclusively until their Factory Trained Service Technician retired. The service manager sent me to Ralph's Porsche Service and their Factory Trained 928 guy. After making intake and exhaust upgrades I wanted to measure its performance numbers (and to spank my friends new 2005 M3) I took it for it's one and only time at the track and ran 13.4. The car is very fast;1987 928 S4 5 speed manual 5.0 liter 32 valve DOHC 316 hp/ 317 torque upgrade air filter 10, exhaust 25 engine mapping chip 10% power gain puts the car in the high 300's. The car has been my short trip daily driver. It is very dependable as it has always been maintained properly. This car is one which needs to be maintained. If you can not afford the maintenance you should not buy the car. The 928, at least, this one, will run perfectly for a lifetime provided it is properly maintained. You, the buyer need to take this car to a Porsche Factory Trained Technician. If you can not do the work yourself do not take it to some guy your friend knows who gave him a deal to fix his car. Anything except someone who really knows this car is a recipe for disaster. The future of this vehicle is important to both myself and the previous owner, it is a special example of a car ahead of it's time where manufacturers are just now starting to catch up. Things I know the car needs. I have a quote of $5,000 to repair the accident damage and to repaint the whole car. The engine was not hit in the accident. The radiator and all front lights need to be replaced. Car needs front clip replaced. Repairs could possibly be less expensive but I only take my car to the best repair shop where I know and have seen high quality Porsche 928 collision repair. The car could need other small accident related issues, such as, I know it needs a new master relay,front end alignment, etc... but overall the accident is relatively minor and fully/easily repairable. Rear tiresWindshield, not from accident, but a stone from the roadThe car is 26 it is not new. Anything else wrong I am unsure and this is not meant to be an all inclusive evaluation of the car. It is an as/is sale. The reason for the sale of the car is right around the time of the accident my business closed and I can not afford the repair, or the ongoing maintenance of the vehicle. I am going to start the reserve for $3000.00, it's what I paid for the wheel and tire package alone. Good luck and happy bidding. This vehicle is always open for viewing and I highly suggest seeing the car in person or the use of a surveyor prior to bidding. I am happy to update with any pictures requested. Starting the listing with just one until I can get to the shop to take more. On Oct-10-13 at 20:49:04 PDT, seller added the following information: Pictures have been updated and I am answering and posting all questions shortly. Thanks for all the interest. Note: If for any reason the high bidder is not happy with the pictures or updates I am happy to cancel their bid, at their request. Please simply, let me know. I have located a 1986, 928 to get front clip from for a price of $1000.00. This should greatly reduce the cost of repair if the winning bidder is interested.
