Open Road

These cars didn't see much of a bump, if any, by first glance.

However, I'm still not sure where to value mine. It's a 1986.5 slushbox that's a ten footer visually. I bought it in 2016 for $15,000 following a rather indepth mechanical refresh. I've had the car a long time and I'm just ready for something new. I don't have, and haven't had, the time for it in years. These older 928s just require closer attention than I have to give.

I'm going to work through a few gremlins from sitting too much. However, the AC is out of it. It needs a full system refresh.

If it's a $7,000 car I'm not spending $2,000 and several days of work to redo the AC. If its a $12-15k car I might.

It just did 500 miles without complaint on short notice, it's about to do another 500. Last timing belt just was summer 2021, replaced the cam sprockets, oil pump gear, water pump, checked crank endplay and put to new clamp bolt. Around this time I dropped the exhaust and ran a new transmission vacuum line. Timing belt service is "timing" out but it's been kept indoors and doesn't have all that many miles on it.



Looking online, valuations are all over the place.

Fox - that's a $17K to $21K range car as you have described it/. 86.5 is very desirable as you know. They are also a PIA to work on, but it sounds like you've done the hard stuff. No interior pics, but I assume presentable. Nice color. Also, a few long trips means it is pretty well sorted. List for $20K and see what happens.

I appreciate the response. Checks out.

I might as well sort everything on it and try to get top of range...
