How I got this car, how it drives and the condition of it is described in “Classic Motorsports” magazine – a view from professional test drivers. They describe this particular car as: “… has a glorious sound…”, “It’s sound and fury, propelling the big car with authority.”, “…suspension is surprisingly tight…”, “… brakes are exceptional…”, “This particular car was in nearly perfect condition, so our experience wasn’t spoiled at all by lack of maintenance. This would be a great car for gobbling up great distances in speed and style.”, “… it looks and drives like it just came off its factory test on the autobahn.” I couldn’t describe it any better or more accurate! Of course two copies of said magazine come with the car – it makes for great conversations at car shows. As you can see from the service mileage intervals below, I have no time to enjoy this car much anymore, as I travel 75% abroad on business. Sitting in the garage does not do this car justice, it was never a garage or trailer queen, so I decided to see if I can find a new, dedicated owner for it, who gives it the exercise it deserves. Below is what you need to know about it and the photos show the rest – this car is immaculate! Do not hesitate to ask any and all questions - and inspections are welcome and suggested. 1988 Porsche 928 S4 Only 54,758 original, documented miles (it will likely have less than 500 miles more on it at end of auction, as I currently still enjoy driving it) VIN: WP0JB0922JS861558 WP0 West Germany Porsche JB0 US Model 92 Car Type (1st two digits of “928”) 2 filler # J Model Year 1988 S Origin Stuttgart, Germany 8 “8” of “928” 6 Body and Engine 1558 Serial # Production Date: Feb. 24, 1988 Delivery Date to Dealer: Dec. 30, 1988 with 5mls Delivery Date to original owner: Jan. 5, 1989 by Crestmont Porsche, North Olmsted, OH with 107mls Engine Code: M2842-81J Automatic: A2812 Option Codes: L908 Grand Prix White HB (Lipstick ) Red Leather C02 Catalytic Converter 158 Blaupunkt Radio 347 Platinum Anodized Wheels 418 Protective Side Moldings 494 Additional Amplifier 533 Alarm System 650 Electric Sunroof 1st registered 02/1989 in Akron, OH Registered again 01/1994 in Arizona (owner moved) Registered again 03/2004 in Arizona to other original owner's family member Registered again 09/2004 in Arizona to yet another original owner's family member Registered 10/2004 to myself Clean CarFax, not a single problem reported!

Please keep in mind that even though this car is in excellent condition, it is now 22 years old, not yet an Oldtimer, but a true Classic Car. There is no warranty! But if you continue to maintain the car as it deserves, you will have countless miles of true enjoyment in the future. You can buy a similar car for half the price or less, but you will spend more than double the difference to get such a car in the condition this one is in. So choose wisely and enjoy the auction! Good luck …
