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

car has LSD, 12 way power seats, auto transmission

aftermarket:
RMB (rear muffler bypass sounds deep and throaty; puts a smile on your face every time you start it up)(don't have the muffler anymore)
Momo Steering wheel and Shifter dyed to interior burgundy color.
Hi intensity headlights, 
$1200 windshield with radio antenna, 
aftermarket CD/radio with removable faceplate

condition: clean car. I haven't tracked the car. It was one of a number of old or classic cars I have or hard and didn't use it much up until the last year or two
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.

German carmakers recall 630,000 diesel vehicles in Europe

Fri, Apr 22 2016

Mercedes, Opel, Porsche, and Volkswagen will recall over 630,000 cars in Europe, according to reports Friday. No diesel car has been able to get under the legal emissions limit in real-world driving, according to a German government investigation. While only Volkswagen Group has been using a specific "defeat device", other carmakers have been playing with their exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. Depending of the manufacturer, the systems have been cut off at a certain temperature. In a specific test cycle the systems operate to fulfill the legal requirements, but in everyday use the limits are exceeded. According to the magazine Der Spiegel, the supplier Bosch is behind this programming and has provided it to all German automakers. The mentioned carmakers have announced recalls, but many other manufacturers are also mentioned by name in the report, including Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, Dacia, Fiat, Ford, Hyundai, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Nissan, Renault, and Suzuki. PSA Group, which produces Peugeot, Citroen, and DS cars, declared yesterday that its offices were raided following an emissions investigation.

Evo rediscovers true love in the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Wed, Jun 3 2015

Evo is on record as loving the Porsche 911 GT3. In fact the only time the GT3 hasn't won its Car of the Year award was when there wasn't a new one to contend for top honors, and in 2009 (when the 997.2 GT3 lost out to the Lotus Evora). By all accounts, then, Evo ought to love the new GT3 RS. Fortunately that's just what the British enthusiast's publication has gotten its hands on for this latest video. After Porsche went a bit softer with the current 911 GT3, the RS has been toughened up to greet the most hardcore of Zuffenhausen's faithful. It was revealed just a few months ago at the Geneva Motor Show, with a 4.0-liter atmospheric boxer-six driving 500 horsepower and 338 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels – exclusively through a dual-clutch transmission. That last bit might be enough to make the snobbiest of purists scoff, but it wasn't enough to keep Chris Harris from loving it. Find out what his former compatriots at Evo have to say from this first drive.

Chevy Corvette Stingray defeating rivals where it matters most

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

Everything is coming up roses for the award-winning Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, as new data from the North American Dealers Association dissected by GM Authority reveals that America's sports car is handily outselling two of its more expensive rivals.
Through June of 2014, the NADA notes that the Corvette has rung up 17,744 sales, handily besting the Porsche 911 and positively spanking the SRT Viper. Of course, you're sitting there thinking, "Corvette is outselling the much more expensive Porsche and Viper. Sky blue, water wet." But what's impressive here is just how thoroughly the Chevrolet is beating its two rivals, with this data serving as a testament to just how popular the seventh-generation sports car has become.
So far this year, Porsche has managed to move 5,169 911s, according to NADA. Considering that the base model starts at nearly $15,000 more than the most heavily optioned Stingray, and that Porsche owners have a vast, expensive options catalogue to select from, Stuttgart's sales are still plenty impressive in relation to the nearly 18,000 Corvettes sold.
