1989 928 S4 Automatic - $2.5k - project car

1989 928 S4 Automatic - UNDER AGREEMENT - project car
I bought this because it needed a new home.

It didn't start when I bought it, but I have since started it, although it does not idle well. It is fairly complete, but needs mechanical work and paint (to resolve the paint damaged by sap on passenger side).

A prospective buyer checked with the prior mechanic (David Lloyd) and provided the following information:
>>>>>
David Lloyd remembers this 89. He said the owner brought it into him when he bought it in 2006.
They went through the car and did the major services to get him started on the right foot.
He said later the car began to have some electrical issues they couldn't get sorted out and was causing the rough idle.
The owner got tired of putting money into it and parked it.

Another prospective buyer reviewed the car and noticed the driver door seam to the front fender is not consistent, and there is evidence of some paint spray in that area, so there is reason to suspect body repair in the past.

A freakin' steal!

Wish I could help you out Stan. I'm sure someone will want it. I know Mark wanted an OB but he might take an 89.

No rush, I am hoping to find a good home for it rather than someone who might take it apart.

You never know I could suddenly have too much time and be working on my cars again

If it runs does it drive, shift through all gears, stop etc etc?

what rear end does the 89 auto have......uber rare 2:64?

I haven't done anything other than start it and have it run *very rough* for a few seconds.

928gt.com lists the possibility as 2.54 or 2.64 for the automatic. As the ROW manual is 2.54, I suspect the 2.54 would be ROW and so this U.S. '89 automatic would be 2.64.
