Description of 1989 Porsche 928 S4 |
Offered for sale is an absolutely impeccable, xtremely original, 2k original mile, echanically strong 1989 Porsche 928 S4, inished in iconic Guards Red over Black Leather. Always garaged, lways professionally maintained and always driven sparingly, he car's original 42k miles are documentable through a thick stack of service records, he original service booklet and a completely clean Carfax report. Never in any accidents, he Guards Red finish is entirely original, hich is a statement that applies to the rest of the car as well (with the exception of an updated sound system, owever an original Porsche factory unit is included in the sale). While all 928 S4s came well appointed, er the car's original window sticker, his example was also optioned with an automatic transmission, ll leather seats, imited slip differential, ody side moldings, ncreased AC, n electric sunroof and a radio with CD player, ringing the car's total original sticker price to a pricey $77,513 (nearly $150k in today's dollars, f adjusting for inflation). As Porsche's first seriously powerful GT car, he 928 drew the ire of Porsche enthusiasts worldwide upon its announcement. But as soon as they realized it wasn't built to replace the beloved 911 - rather to compliment it in an enthusiast's garage - opinions changed. A big V8 Autobahn bomber, he 928 was far more civilized than the 911, oasting big comfortable seats, ower everything, sually an automatic transmission and all the Star Wars/Reagan era futuristic design elements that a successful 1980's man could ask for. Whether in Cannes or Beverly Hills, f you were somebody you would have walked into a dealership and bought a 928 S4. Whether making a vacation trip from Milan to Monaco or Los Angeles to San Francisco on business, he 928 was (and arguably still could be), he car of choice, roviding a wonderful drive quality that won't frustrate your wife. It's a true GT cruiser; extremely comfortable with a V8 that has great torque, aking smooth, njoyable driving effortless. Furthermore, n following with Porsche's legendary legacy, he handling is great and the looks are timeless. The Guards Red finish is in truly excellent original condition: deep, ustrous and marred only by the most negligible of imperfections, one of which are significant enough to register in the pictures. The car's body is entirely straight, ree of any evidence of bodywork, nd all of the panel fits and gaps are consistent and factory correct. The glass and rubber are in excellent original shape, s are the dealer installed chrome wheels (with colored crest center caps), rapped in tires with plenty of remaining tread. The car's interior is equally impeccable, he black leather seats and carpets showing only nominal wear. The power sunroof, ower seats, ower windows, ower rear hatch locking device and all of the other electronics work exactly as they should, nd while the car's sound system has been updated with a stellar more modern unit, he car retains a Porsche factory unit. As mentioned above, verything else on the car is stock — it hasn't been modified in any way. The car retains its inflatable spare, ir compressor, omplete original tool kit and original manual, ervice booklet, adio booklet and two sets of keys. The car is also excellent mechanically, eeling like a tight, ell-maintained, ow original mileage example should. Despite its low miles, he car was never neglected for any period of time, ather driven regularly (albeit sparingly) and professionally serviced, lways garaged and professionally detailed. The car starts effortlessly, roducing a low rumble to announce its 316hp 5.0L V8, nd it's a joy on the road, mooth through each of the gears and pulling with impressive force when asked. With its quiet cabin and even drive quality, t's very easy to look down at your gauges on the freeway and realize you're doing 95mph when you assumed you were only a hair over 70. Despite the fact it's a front engine V8, t's still a Porsche and it performs with poise in the canyons as well as on the freeway. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire what is undoubtedly one of the finest, est documented, ost original 928 S4s on the market. With vintage Porsches appreciating faster than nearly any other marque (save for Ferrari), he outlandish numbers that 356s and 911s have been realizing have made the 928 a legitimate and unique collector's car, he epitome of a modern classic. Iconic colors, mpeccable condition, ow miles, ocumented history, .0L engine, tc....If you've been looking for a 928S4, t would be hard to find a better example.
