Description of 1984 Porsche 928 S

Hello all,
I am selling one of my Porsches. This is a 1984 Porsche 928S with a manual transmission and 98K original miles. This is a fairly rare car. I purchased the car recently to add it to my VW/Porsche/Audi stable which includes a 79' Carrera, 87' 951, 03' RS6, 01' S8, a Cayenne, a Jetta, and a Fiat 500:D --- however, I am starting to realize that I am a bit too ambitious with all of my projects going on to allocate the needed amount of attention to this car at this particular time. With that said, I have decided to part with it and allow someone else to finish it off to their standards.
The following history is available of this car since 1991:In 1992 the vehicle was located in Florida. In 1994 it made it's way up to Wisconsin. In 2000 the vehicle came back down to DC/MD/VA area - where it has spent the remainder of it's life. I believe I have purchased it either from the 4th or the 5th owner. The car has a fully clean car fax report (going back to 1991) and a clean title. I have thoroughly inspected it for replaced and non-oem panels, structural work, etc. and have found for everything to be original. The car did get a re-spray with a factory color in the past which was not the best quality --- however, more on that later.
The following service records are available for this car and will come in a nice file along with the vehicle:03/24/2014 @ 92,353 miles ($3,597.20)•Replacement of front and rear strut. Set full ride height and conduct a full alignment.

The previous owner was meticulous about ensuring that the car is mechanically up to par. As you can see --- some of the bill amounts are extraordinary. The clutch remains to only have about 8K miles on it; the struts (factory Bilstein -- adjustable in back) were installed new within the last 7K miles; and the timing belt along with all components only has 17K miles on it as well. The last owner conducted the last oil change at 95K miles.
The interior of this car is also something that shines. The owner had all of the seats re-upholstered very recently. The carpets were all replaced with a Lloyd set and also come with Lloyd car mats. The dash does NOT have any cracks on it! The only other items that could require some perfectionist attention is the headliner, passenger door arm rest, the shifter boot which I think simply needs to be snapped into its holster, and also the rear view mirror which has had the reflective backing inside of it peel. Outside of that you have a show-worthy interior.
More on the exterior. The car has had a re-spray. Appears as all that was done by the shop who simply utilized masking take to mask everything instead of disassembling certain components. Certain areas have a bit of overspray on the gasketing, certain areas the paint is chipping off. What needs to really occur to have this car to 100% is it needs to be sanded, bumpers taken off, glass taken out, and repainted. During this time a few of the minor rust spots can also be handled. The rust spots (as pictured) are all very minor surface rust spots. I have also taken pictures of the inner fenders to show that there is no rust. Below you will also see pictures of the wheels which simply need a bit of a mothers ball polish on them. These are polished and not crappy chrome. There is no curb-rash on any of the wheels.
On the engine and drivetrain. The car runs great. I drove it home when purchased (~60 mile trip) and it drove great. Very fun to drive with the manual. I have driven it several additional times since then. The only thing I have noticed is that since the front brakes are slotted there is a bit of a pulse on the pedal (just needs two front rotors); additionally sometimes there is a bit of a grind when shifting from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd. I anticipate the Synchros will need to be replaced within the next 10 or so K miles. This is intermittent and comes and goes. Otherwise it shifts great.
I have 90+ HD pictures of the car I would be happy to provide anyone with. I also do have the CarFax report for the car as well.
As far as price --- I'd like to sell; but I don't NEED to sell. I am looking for a best reasonable offer.
Please ask all questions prior to offering. The car is sold as is/as seen. This is a used, classic car. $500 deposit due within 24 hours of purchase.
