928 Values
- Thread starter nwns
- Start date
V low mile GT versions seem to command the highest prices but I'm not convinced that low miles is necessarily a good thing on these cars. I looked at one with 40k less miles than the one I bought, same year, and it was a complete dog in comparison.
Mine doesn't get used much (bought for shows and weekends) and it doesn't like it. I'm hoping it will like a trip to Silverstone in July to the national event!!
Good luck and have fun with the search - they are brilliant cars. It's like getting into a time machine and being transported back 30 years[
The only S2 on Autotrader at present has 145k miles and is a Cat D. Up for £9950.Dave928 said:Depends on if you want manual or auto. Probably can get an S2 auto for around £6/7

price range . But not looking for a GTS .
I sold my S2 for twice what I paid for it after three years and bought my S4 two years ago for a third of what dealers are asking for similar aged cars now.
If you find a good car with great service history the question is more of how much are you willing to pay? A good 928 is an amazing car to have.
The way things are going today's prices will look cheap in a few years.

My preference of the early shapes would defiantly be a 86.5. Early looks but S4 running gear and interior, best of both worlds. A manual version of this in great condition would be very tempting indeed.
There are still some very good cars to be had with out paying dealer premiums.
What ever you buy just check when the timing belt was done, when the flex plate tension was the checked/released, and if the engine mounts have been changed.
These are what I have had to do on each of my 928's and it might give you some room for negotiation on a deal.
I am struggling to find anything pre-S4 that doesn't look like it's ready for scrap and the warranty of a reputable dealer like Gmund does appeal on a 928.
Being an '80 it will have solid engine mounts (not problematic unlike the post '83 hydraulic ones), and no flexplate tension issues thanks to the circlip'd drieshaft (post '84 it was dropped hence the issues)
The description is a bit vague but I know that's just an old wheeler dealer trick of getting you to enquire for more details so maybe you'd be pleasantly surprised. Gmund do seem reputable to be fair to them. If there's certain things lacking from the history I would be negotiating over it if I were you:
- Timing belt/waterpump
- Shocks/bushes (no one ever talks about shocks but they are usually way past their best and this stops a 928 driving like a 928!) check by pushing on the corners of the car and observing bounce
- Fuel lines/fuel tank cradle (very commonly knackered regardless of overall vehicle condition unless they've been replaced)
- Go over the electrics
- Go over the HVAC and make sure it's working properly (air diverting to screen/feet etc and that it blows hot and cold!)
- Check for oil leaks (particularly in the V which again is very very common!
I'm selling a nice '82 if you're interested, I replied to your Tipec post about it
Hope this helps!

Firstly there doesn't seem to be a load cover. I know these perish but they should have replaced it or at least have the original there as with the frame a new canvas section can be purchased.
The second thing is the engine bay picture. The plastic cover under the windscreen seems to be broken on the drivers side, it could have perished as my first 928's was very brittle and cracked so needed to be changed. Also on the air filter is the sticker for the oil. I have only seen these on the plastic cover not on the filter. Also the gold plate on the filter I think should be on the radiator. I am sure Llew will correct me if I am wrong as he does know a lot more about this.
The third thing I saw was on the picture of the interior on the passenger door that seems to be an air bubble under the leather above the air vent. I might be wrong but I had a similar thing with leather headlining on my S2 and I could never get in to re stick and it just grew.
Also on the picture of the manuals and key. This is for the centre box between the rear seats but it has a later immobiliser on the key ring, just seems a bit odd to show this but no spare ignition/door key. The main ignition/door keys are not too bad to get but I was missing a spare for the rear box and Porsche could only supply the key and lock and it was really expensive.
For the price they are asking these little things should have been done. To be really pedantic there should be the tyre compressor, all tools and a lot of other small items that come with the car from new which should be there to get top end prices. I know with my S4 I have all keys (including valet), a complete owners pack with all items that are usually lost even the original key code cards to order replacements.

llewelyn - if the original poster passes on your 82 I'd be keen on finding out more.
