Castle Combe trackday - Friday 25th June 2010 PDF Print E-mail

Well, with the snow falling and everybody stuck at home this is an excellent time to think about warm summer trackdays!!!

Richard has booked Castle Combe for one of his classic exclusive trackdays on Friday 25th June!

The cost will be £145 per car. 12 cars on track at any given time, and as anyone who has been on one before will tell you, they are a hoot and you will get as much track time as you need. Castle Combe love to have us there, we love going, its a great day out and because Richard runs it, the event is not full of lunatics in Saxos...

The price has had to go up this year reflecting the increased cost to Richard over the years, and the amount of time spent organising them.Both Goodwood and Silverstone were very close to making a loss. Richard will probably only do one trackday this year.

  • It is open to the 928 community before it goes to Richards trackday list.
  • Put it in your diary, and let him know if you can make it.
  • Payment will be required during April/May
 
The 2010 928.org.uk Porsche 928 buyers guide PDF Print E-mail

This guide is published only at 928.org.uk - the home of the 928 community in the UK, and on ebay, on my account.

What to pay when buying a Porsche 928 in the UK in January 2010

Anything under GBP 2,000 will likely be a basket case. Nowadays I think there are three clear bands of 928s people search for. This doesnt mean quite exactly three bands of pricing but it almost does. Exceptions for truly mint cars make this an inexact science. Please dont rely solely on this guide. Get plenty of advice and opinions.

Band 1 - Pre S4 - I group all these cars together, I dont see any difference between a 78 and an 81 in value. Nobody will pay more than GBP 3,999. Most desirable are the first cars from 1978 and the last cars known as 86.5's because they had a lot of the S4 running gear without the complexity.

Band 2 - S4 Analog Dash - The entry point into the revised shape is GBP 4,499.

My favourite analog dash car is the 1988 S4 SE which doesn't fit the normal valuations and is these days roughly equivalent in value to a perfect GT. Analog dash ended with model year 89.

Band 3 - S4, GT, GTS Digital Dash 4995 to 8999 for S4 and GT models, GBP 6,995 - 15,995 for GTS. My model of choice here is a tie between an 89 GT and a 95 GTS manual. I think a top priced GTS would have to be nearly perfect to do achieve these prices. Average GTS price in 2008 and 2009 was just hovering between GBP 9,000 and 11,000. Retailers sell for more with warranties of course.

I talk to a lot of potential buyers in person and mostly by email. Most people today are not reliant on the 928 as their main car so they are spending a lot of time finding the right car for them. This is a good thing because its really important to have one you can live with in terms of colour inside and out and manual vs auto and then the rest of the spec. It is more important to buy one which has the basis to be a good car to keep and to build up to be what you want it to be. Its no good buying the right colour but neglected car unless you have deep pockets. All 928s are getting old now so there are very few perfect cars.
