Porsche Enthusiasts Club Forum

Sorry also to hear of the bad time you're having selling your 928. I would suggest that you advertise it on the forum but I found that for me selling my 944 by this method is a complete waste of time. Quite a few 'window shoppers' but nothing serious. But, then again, PistonHeads and AutoTrader haven't been a good thing either. Looks like my 944 will go into mothballs if I get to go overseas.

Ebay is a minefield and 'prospective buyers' who then back out have some weird and wonderful excuses as mentioned by others on this thread. I bought a set of alloys for a BMW (I'll wash my mouth out later) for a really unbelievable price. The seller contacted me after the close and told me that his garage had been broken into and the set of alloys stolen. I google mapped the address and he lives in a terrace block with no garages local to the area.

Hope it all works out well for you in the end though.

'Nil illegitimi carborundum' as they say!

At least that brought a smile to my face.

Just a thought Lee it maybe worth running another advert in Pistonheads as it used to be a free ad with 3 photos.
I would certainly forget the timewaster and somebody who really wants the car will come up soon Im sure

Hi Alan, unfortunately PH stopped the free adverts. The guy I gave the second chance offer too the last time has phoned me, he works over seas so just got home. Looks like I'll continue with the offer to him, before I spend more money on eBay. I just can't believe it is this hard? When I buy a car, I make contact and communicate.

The car finally went with the second chance offer to a guy in Nottingham. Really nice guy and got the car for buttons in the end. I do feel ever so guilty, as the guy has now contacted me and said it has over heated, possible cylinder head gasket? To think, I nearly took her to Monaco 2 months ago. I hope it isn't the cylinder head and he gets it fixed easily. After I have built my garage round the back of the house, I'll start looking for a early manual one.

..., sorry to read of this Lee, even when it,s gone it,s biting you one way or another !

Quote-- Lee.., (I'll start looking for a early manual one.) A good choice, much more simple to work on, and less aggravation..., probably why Iv,e owned my 80, 5 speed 928S for twenty one years.., ( scary thought all those years )
