'79 5spd for $10k? That would indeed be optimistic! Car would have to be in show quality condition throughout to command that kind of cash.

I think Stan might be a little high... I agree the current economic climate is pretty much CRAP, but really nice ready to drive S4's (auto's, not 5spds) should start at about $13k and go up from there depending on just how nice the paint and interior are.

As noted miles hardly matter at all... I don't worry about the mileage on a 928. It is all about the condition. Now if the interior is ratty because it has high mileage then yea, maybe the miles were hard on the car. That said, I have seen trashed interiors on 50k mile cars and I have seen concours condition interiors on 150k mile cars!

Well it sounds like I should save my dollars for a better 928 to come along. Now what to do with a free 928....hmmm.

If you buy the same vintage, it could be used for parts, or if you want to spend many hours learning about a 928 you can take it apart. Some parts would have value.

Why not just see what it will need so that you can drive it and start from there.

Do you have some pictures

Well I know for sure the electrical have to be redone because the guy that had it before my family got it ripped out the harnesses for some reason. It did run but it has been sitting for probably a year now. So at the very least I'll have to pop a battery in it to see if I can get it to start again. It needs some work for sure.

I was told that it was a handbuilt 928 but I don't really know if that is completely true or not.

I don't have any pictures yet because it's back east right now. I can take some when I get back there later next month.
