Year:1987 Mileage:92024
Location:

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.

Watch this Koenigsegg CCX hit 211 mph on a runway, outpacing McLaren's P1

Tue, 03 Jun 2014

Vmax200 in in England organizes events where those who care to show up with a supercar can run them down the two-mile runway at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground. Evo attended the latest event, bringing an impressively green Lamborghini Aventador to test its girth and gaping vents against other precious metals like the McLaren P1 and F1, Ferrari F12 Berlinetta and Enzo, a Porsche Carrera GT and enough 911 Turbos to start a dealership. Speaking of those Porsches, nine of the top ten slots in the top speed competition are claimed by modified 911 Turbos.
A monochrome Swede ruled them all, though, a black-and-white Koenigsegg CCX setting fire to the speed trap run after run, hitting 211 miles per hour at its quickest. It was followed by, surprise, a 911 GT2 modified by 9E that did 210 mph. You can watch the EVO video below, GT Spirit has a bigger breakdown of the day, and we've included another vid showing the tandem launch of the CCX and McLaren F1.

Which is quicker in the standing mile, a Subaru WRX STI or a Porsche Cayman?

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

The 2015 Subaru WRX STI and 2014 Porsche Cayman are both saddled with unfair reputations. The STI with its huge wing and gold wheels has the title of the ultimate boy-racer. On the other hand, Porsche brand snobs look down on he base Cayman as just a wannabe 911. In reality, they are both pretty fantastic performance cars. But what would happen if the two of them lined up at a stoplight, and maybe the guy in the suit in the Cayman started throwing some revs at the young man in the STI? Automobile decided to find out in a recent video pitting the two stereotyped hot rods against each other in a standing-mile drag race.
In terms of raw numbers, they are surprisingly close. Both use flat engines and six-speed manual transmissions here, but the Subaru has more power and torque. However, the Porsche makes up for it with 300 pounds less weight. Neither should have a problem with traction either thanks to the STI's sophisticated all-wheel-drive setup, and the Cayman's mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout.
The comparable specs certainly show themselves in the real world for the race. We're not going to give away the winner here because it's too exciting, but let's just say the finish is very, very close. Scroll down to watch both of them shrug off their stereotypes and show off their real performance.

Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).
