Clean 1987 928 S4 for sale. no trades. I've owned the car for 7 years

Momo Steering wheel and Shifter dyed to interior burgundy color.
Hi intensity headlights, 
$1200 windshield with radio antenna,

paint: is original I believe but I think the front bumper had been resprayed before I bought it. Paint shows good up up unitil a foot away. has some chips all round. has spider crack around rear pass. lens, (see picture)  light scratches in various places. but for a 27 year old car with original paint, I think it shows good. 
interior is very good. new front seats; has a dash pad split over instrument cluster which was repaired but it came back (see picture).


Last 7 year maintenance history (I have all the major service receipts, most parts purchased from 928 International) 

I bought the car in March 2007 with 79k miles and it needed alot of work.

Here's what I did in 07 at 80k miles ( closer to $10k than $5k) 

Engine:
timing belt and new water pump
new expansion tank
fuel filter
new alternator

suspension and steering:
shocks and springs all around (boge)
replaced pressurized power steering hose
rebuilt power steering rack
alignment

a/c
head unit (x 2) 

12/2011  at 84k service and upgrades ($5k plus) 
Major brake service:
front brake rotors, discs and pads
rear parking shoe set
front and rear brake pad sensors
resurface rear rotors
new master brake cylinder 
fuel filter

new OEM front seats (covers) 

2012: replaced all four gas struts (engine bay and hatchback)

numerous other small repairs over the past 7 years (sunroof switch, rear hatchback switch, engine hood pad, etc.)

tires and wheels:
Black wheels purchased in February 2013 from Tire Rack (forgot what they are)
tires are all about a year and a half old with only a few thousand miles.no appreciate wear
fronts and rear passanger are Failkens. Driver's rear is a similiar tread Dunlap. Needed a quick tire change and there was a delay
in getting another Failken, so I had the closest one put on. Haven't noticed any difference in the last year, so I haven't replaced the 
Dunlap. 

recent new battery (in the past 6 months)
it's got a trickle charger plugged into the battery.

recent service (last month)

oil change (full synthetic) 
fixed brake sensor light via electric harness repair
steering shaft bushing replaced


Known issues:
heater control valve inoperative. a/c works excellent. heater doesn't unless the valve is manually closed which is a pain. It doesn't get cold enough in Northern California for me to worry about heat so I don't mess with it

at the service last month, I had  my well regarded porsche shop go through the care since I was planning on selling it and he noted the following as recommendations:

v belts and rib belt
crack in oil cooler hoses
seeping trans cooler hoses
leak res to pump hose

The car doesn't leak anything to the ground and needs no fluilds top off. 

I'm going to let the new owner decide which if any of these recommendations to attend to. 

Reason for sale:
I moved to california not too long ago and I wanted a modern convertible porsche, so I bought a 996 t cab. I don't have room to keep the 928. If I did I wouldn't sell it because it's a fun and classy car and I have so much money into it (probably between 15 and 18k in maintenance and upgrades)

car is registered in Texas, but currently in the Sacramento Ca. area.

I have a couple air filters, one oil filter and the linen and burgandy dyes for the interior which are included. I have two keys and it has the owners manual, spare tire, compressor, tools, custom front windshield reflector).  


No trades

Car can be picked up by buyer or carrier in Davis, Ca.

very nice car, wish I had room to keep it or a place to store it.

Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets

Tue, Jul 17 2018

Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.

Porsche creates 'symphony' with seven generations of 911

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

At Porsche, things are getting a bit wild on the 50th anniversary year of the 911. To celebrate it (again) in yet another inventive way, the automaker has called on the musical talents of seven generations of the rear-engine sports car (please suspend your disbelief, at least for the length of the video, and assume that generation two started in 1974) to perform a song that has eight notes. We're wondering which 911 is pulling double duty...
But before the Porsches are lined up for the short recital, the drivers let loose and drift them inside a hangar. Watch the video below, and tell us in comments which was more impressive: the song or the drifting.

2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS prowls into Geneva with biggest NA engine in the 911 range [w/video]

Tue, Mar 3 2015

We've been waiting for the debut of this road-going and race-ready Porsche 911 GT3 RS for quite some time now. As is typical for high-profile sports machines, the new 911 has been foreshadowed with spy shots and information leaks aplenty, all pointing to this grand day at Geneva. Here she is. Just a glance at the duct-sliced bodywork and massive rear wing will tell you that this Porsche means business, but let's look at its bona fides. The heart of the matter, under that short rear deck, is the largest-displacement and most powerful naturally aspirated engine in the 911 family, with 500 horsepower and 338 pound-feet of torque developed by the 4.0-liter flat-six. That hoss of an engine is mated to a newly developed version of Porsche's PDK dual-clutch gearbox – with functions such as "paddle neutral" that effectively works like depressing the clutch on a standard manual, and a Pit Speed button for on the track. Working in concert, engine and trans allow the GT3 RS to sprint to 60 miles per hour in 3.1 seconds, hit a quarter mile in 11.2, and lap the Nurburgring Nordschleife in just seven minutes, 20 seconds. (That 'Ring time makes it the fastest current 911 around the benchmark course, and five seconds faster than the current 911 GT3 – so quick.) Weight has been saved via exotic materials; the car sports a magnesium roof and carbon fiber for the trunk and engine lids. Overall the RS is 22 pounds lighter than the GT3, but also boasts a lower center of gravity. As we said at the top, there's a wide, low and aggressive body kit on the GT3 RS, all engineered with racing performance in mind. That huge rear wing is balanced in the front by a deep chin spoiler, and the front wheel arches have been punctuated with vents that help to increase downforce on the front axle. The roll cage is the most obvious interior modification to let one know that this is a racing tool, but Porsche has also slathered the space in Alcantara and installed carbon-fiber bucket seats (based on those found in the 918 Spyder) to drive the point home. The cost of such racing glory will be steep at $175,900 plus a $995 destination charge, but not out of the scope of the current ask for the 911 range, when you consider that a Turbo S runs over $180k. Look for 911 GT3 RS deliveries to start in July of this year in the US, and for track days to be more competitive for the addition.
