Our Porsche 928 was purchased new from Porsche-Audi Northwest/Continental Motors by a family member who liked the way the car looked.  She called it her "blue bug" and never drove it over 50 mph.  She didn't trust the small emergency spare tire, so she insisted on adding a new wheel and new tire, which she kept in the rear hatchback.  It has never been used.  She also "undid" the alarm after she had several episodes of accidentally setting off the alarm by opening the wrong door.  We have all the paperwork and repair papers that she kept for several years.  We received the car after her death and with the advice and mechanical expertise of the people at A&P Motors in Portland, we have enjoyed driving it for the past 14 years.  The 110,317 miles are actual miles driven.  We have new Pirelli tires, brakes and new battery in the past two years, but nothing major needed to be done.   

Due to medical reasons we are going to offer this Porsche for auction and hope that someone will enjoy driving it the way it should be driven.  Our mechanic's been nagging us to "take it out on the road and drive it", but we are not able to do that anymore.  The alarm system needs to be reconnected; the passenger door automatic lock needs to be adjusted; the dash lights are touchy inside and should be looked at.  The air conditioner needs regular servicing in 2013.  The Berlin Blaupunkt radio  ($1,300)was added when the car was purchased and she had automatic transmission instead of a manual.  Please read the detail items on the photo of the original window sticker on this car.  Take a close look at the Annual Fuel Cost information if you want an "oh no" moment.  By the way, we get better than 11 mpg and always use Premium Chevron gas. 

The interior is a lovely Cork leather, very comfortable.  The external blue paint is original.  The body is in very good shape and it has not been involved in any accidents.  There are storage compartments in the dash, in the doors and between the seats.  The driving position is fully adjustable, even to the angle of the steering wheel and instrument cluster.  An illuminated make up mirror folds safely into the headlining.  All glass is tinted.  The car corners superbly and rides well.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at whcram@msn.com or call 503.281.6625. 

Trivia for those who are interested:  a blue Porsche 928 like this one was seen in the old movie, "Scarface" and more recently in "Cars".  In "Cars"  it was named Sally. 

Price includes extra wheel and tire.

VIN NUMBER LISTED WITH ITEM IS INCORRECT. it should be 9289200981.

Please take note of viewer's question re the VIN number.  The tag on the door is correct:  VIN NUMBER IS 9289200981.  New photos being added to show:  1979 sales contract, State of Washington application for title,  &  official mileage verification form. All show correct VIN number.  We took the vin from the sales label we found in her original owner's manual and apologize for our error.

Original owner changed her mind when she found out the car she liked had manual transmission.  She wanted same car, but with auto transmission.  Thank you to the sharp viewer who brought this to our attention.  I cannot change the published VIN number on this listing since there is already a bid on this item, but we do have key paperwork since the contract was signed in November 1979.

This is embarrassing.  I found a typo error in the description  above.  Actual miles driven should read:  119,317.
