Strong money indeed. There are so many other fantastic cars available for similar money so personally unless the car is truly exceptional I don’t think it’s worth that much.
As already said, the auto box is excellent on the 928 so don’t let that put you off having one.

Agree the auto is excellent. That said this early manual would also be a good addition to any stable

Lovely shade of black and low miles
Based on VIN it was made some time in spring 1993 as 1993 model year car. Auction says "first registered in France on 16 December 1994". This is good example of how difficult 928's were to sell in nineties recession. It spend year and half somewhere waiting for buyer. Likely in dealer showroom in Bordeaux.

Now everyone wants special color all equipment as late manual gearbox car as possible. There were very few of them made and now even less have low miles. This one is nothing special early GTS but low km's and manual gearbox make it expensive combination.

Agree with this and it's not dissimilar to Ferrari 308's that were apparently tough to sell in the 70's due to the oil crisis.
