At best I would buy it in hopes of selling the transmission to someone who wants a 5 speed, otherwise the car is sheit.

I agree!
DO NOT BUY IT!!!!!
Here are the Top 5 reasons you should run away. Fast.
1. Parts are impossible to find and when you find them, they are seriously expensive.
2. Most shops will refuse to work on a 928 regardless of how much you are willing to pay.
3. Shops who will work on a 928 probably have no idea what they are doing. The mechanic who did know how to repair them retired 10 years ago. So they will take your money and learn as they go. Which is great is you are ok with paying someone $100 per hour for on-the-job training on your car.
4. These cars are incredibly complex. They are the Rube Goldberg of cars. Diagnostics are non-existant so finding a fault is a long, long, long tedious process.
5. The odds are high that almost everything needs to be replaced on that car. You will be looking at a whole car re-build. I would estimate at least $25,000. Minimum.
This is honest advice from a guy who bought a $10K 996 and a $10K 944 Turbo and who does almost all of the work himself. I would never, ever touch a worn out 928.
