One I missed that is not in eBay Motors..."Perfect"  except for a few paint chips, seat tear and dash cracks, timing belt overdue.  Upgraded stereo, extra alarms.  Repair to fender with "baked on" paint.  Hmmm....this car has been here before.  The "baked on" paint thing triggered my recollection.  Here's what I said the first time:

Another misclassified car I just found.  Needs a T-belt NOW, has usual wear and tear.  Also, is a salvage title, but repaired with "baked on" paint.  Hmmmm...

As Joe from Kel's Auto on Hwy 175 says, it needs some work.  Joe says the rear seats need to be recovered.  I think he means recovered from a theft as they appear to be missing.  Cars like this kinda bother me.  It appears to have been neglected if not abandoned for years.  Don't even ask for the service records.  One person's neglected step-child is another person's diamond in the rough. - $1,925 $3,750.50 $4,050

Purported to be 2 owner original mileage.  Interior looks good.  Engine has plenty of Armor-All on it and grime along fender seam.  Front spoiler is painted and seems to have a honker of a curb crack on the front driver side.  Car looks OK, but something tells me this is a re-spray.  Can't put my finger on it.  Bidding has taken off. - $9,600 $11,100 $12,100 $12,100 $12,100 $14,800

Dan seems to have wised up to the fact that his non-descript 81 really was a hotrod Euro S.  He pulled the previous ad earlier today and popped this one up.  The bidding has taken off much faster.

Dan mentions no faults and says interior is original.  The interior shows no obvious faults.  Many of the pics are too dark to see details.  The engine compartment looks grimy but could just be a gloomy pic.

Black with lobster red inside. I do like this interior color a lot.  I don't care for Mephisto Motors, but maybe I'll get over that prejudice.  They have had a couple of nice cars recently.  Their ads have good pictures, but they do not disclose critical things in their ads, in my experience.  The seats on this car have contrasting piping, but this is missing from the driver seat.  Console near dash and dash has some wrinkles, and the climate control temperature knob is missing.  Otherwise clean, including engine compartment.  Polished flats but centers are not polished.  Now, these are not critical things that require disclosure.  That happened in an ad for an unrelated car that was an unrevealed replica. $0 $5,500 $6,100 $6,100 $6,100 $7,500

Back again for third time.  Looks OK.  Did well in first auction.  Wonder why deal fell through. In the case of a re-listing like this, I advise anyone interested in bidding to contact the winning bidder in the previous listing and ask why the deal fell through. You can find the winning by clicking on the item number to the left for the Jan-15 closing.

Here's what I said the first time.

Can't see any problems.  Looks like it could be all leather interior. RMB installed?

Appears to be another unannounced Euro car (no VIN supplied) from sidemarkers.  Has S trim (padded steering wheel, spoilers).  Mentions German gauges.  Mentions interior needs work.  Note console wrinkle..  Looks like velour/leather seats.  says "for parts or restoration", but it doesn't look that bad.

Update:  VIN is 92A0820024.  According to another 928 fan the VIN for these early 928s can be decoded as follows:

1980 VIN digit 6:
0=4.5 ROW
1=4.5 US
2=4.7 Euro S
Which would make this a Euro S

Dan Schmitt again, but let's forget about Dan this time.  This 81 has S spoilers, padded steering wheel and checkered interior.  Could this be a Euro "S" or Competition model?  It has Euro sidemarkers, too.  I'll ask for the VIN.  Dan mentions no faults and says interior is original.  The interior shows no obvious faults.  Many of the pics are too dark to see details.  The engine compartment looks grimy.

Ooops!  I missed the VIN, which includes ZZZ, so this is a Euro car.  The question is whether it is an S with 300 HP or a non-S with 229.  It looks like an S, but those could have been add-ons.

Update:  Another 928 fan decoded the VIN and this is a S model Euro car.

Buying house.  Re-spray 4 years ago, broken A/C.  Some interior wear and dash cracks.  No mention of maintenance history. No pics.  This is an eBay problem.  eBay basically expects you to know HTML coding to get more than a single pic loaded, although I believe this is going to change soon.. $0 $0 $0 $0 $0 $0 $4,450

Try again.  Previous ad had no pics - no bids.  This one, not on eBay Motors (there's a novel tactic), has some pics, and they are revealing.  Claims of a flawless car in previous ads have evaporated.  Now he admits a few minor flaws.  The console is bowed and has a brace screwed on.   What I don't get is that he spent $15K fixing up what he says was a nice car, and he doesn't fix these things.  The ads make no sense to me. Apparently no one else bought the story the first time either.

Here's what I said the last time.

Uh, add up the numbers.  This guys says the car was real nice when he got it.  He spent over $15K getting it ready to sell.  I'm not sure what he started with, but most of it isn't there anymore.  Very strange.  Good luck recouping the investment.

Another retread - third time for this one.

Here's what I said the last time.

Back again.  Humph.  Doesn't do anything for me.  I'll bet we see this one again.  My theory - it's not a good car.  People bid on it, then find out it has some hidden problems and back out.

A retread.  More pics this time, clearly showing dash crack I thought I saw the first time.  That probably killed the deal as it was not mentioned. Console is missing shifter center roll panel.  Wonder about other unseen faults.  Good luck.

Here's what I said the first time.

Mentions no faults.  Looks pretty decent. Possible dash crack at right edge of glovebox appears to be a photo glitch.  Little feedback, but has sold 2 vehicles recently.

Ew, things are picking up on eBay!  Nice car, but if you visit the seller's website (linked in the ad) you learn he is expecting a premium price: $32K.  Why run an auction?  I doubt he will get much action after people see that.  At most he might expect $25K, IMHO.  It's funny, too when you read the "flaws" he describes on his webpage.  Several are very easy to fix according to the seller - so why didn't he fix them?

Update: Seller has revised his webapge to eliminate the $32K price and add some juicy tidbits such as Dyno data (a strong 290+).

Nice looking 78 with S4-look and newish wheels (deal includes original phone dials).  Says seats are "Ricaro" (hee, hee Recaro) but they appear to be S/S4 Porsche. "Rust"/black interior looks OK to me.  Speedo out.  Other minor problems noted.  This may be a nice car, if you get a little more information/pics of motor.  Owner is a newbie and feels in over his head. $6,099.99
