Some look quite nice and clean and tidy, others less so, but there seems to have been a sudden flood of 928's on to ebay in recent day's, presumably people looking to cash in on their increasing popularity? ![]() |

I'm not sure an economist would agree that a glut of product on the market signals popularity! But then what do economists know... |

I've looked at 10 of the lower priced ones in the last 3 months and they were all nails. Some were only fit for spares and others were rolling restoration projects for the (very) brave. None were good. One pulled so badly to the left that if you took your hands off the wheel it went straight off the road. "Tracking out" I was told. Another had no lights working and when I turned on the headlight switch smoke came from the passenger footwell. Apparently this was probably just "a fuse". A nice looking S2 had no drive when I got it going. It would only select reverse. I wondered if I could drive it home 80 miles in reverse. The listing did not mention this, only that the battery was "flat"....which it was. One had the HT leads cut so it would not start of course. They had been "vandalised" but I was assured that it "ran fine last time it was used" "When was that then" "October 2008" "15 months ago?" "What do you expect for £1400" Well, I guess he had a point. I think a lot of the cheap ones are being bought up by breakers. At the moment a good one is worth say £6,000 so it's not worth restoring a bad one. One of the breakers has 12 928's on their website. This situation surely cannot last.....get your cheap or obsolete 928 spares now! |
