1989 Porsche 928 S4 Description

Richards rawlings green!! HA!
1989 porshe 928 s4 with what looks to be a hard life history (rode hard and put away wet).....I have not run a history report but I know it has differently had some body damage by the cracking of paint (please see pics: right fender in 2 spots, front bumper in several spots, left fender around headlight, left quarter panel above wheel) these are the only spots cracking and really the only body "defects". This a 2011 porsche factory green (L2D8) painted by a "chain" auto body shop located in Texas sometime in 2012 after an accident I assume. Original color is black, so nothing looks really odd when you look under carpet, jambs, hood, hatch area or if it were to chip and scratch (great base color for a complete color change). Looks like it has held up GREAT after 4 years of winters and sunny days, the finish has minimal orange peel and dirt, I would say it is a good "10 footer". It does he some over spray in the jambs but could be easily cleaned up with an hour worth of work. Gaps are respectable except where the front bumper meets the hood, it is not perfect.... Doors also some tearing and chunks missing on the weatherstripping, I assume from unmasking the tape with toe sticking. Sunroof still has black paint for whatever reason? All lights seem to function except 2 tail light bulbs on right and right rear turn signal. Dash says to refill washer and service brake pads? Brakes feel awesome but the right calipers are red and left calipers are black? Automatic gearboxshifts great and smooth although I hear clicking when going from reverse to drive and would assume it needs u-joints (NOT horrible and immediate attention needed). I see no spots under it after being parked overnight, shocks and steering feels tight and not a "rattle trap" over bumps. steering wheel does sit a few degrees off when driving but car does not pull and goes down the road straight. All tools are mising from tool kit and trim cover over rear hatch with lighting it is missing (see pic). Does have the spare, rear carpet and new BRAND NEW battery!
Now for the engine!!!
It does run and shoots you like a rocket after 2,000 RPM''s..... no knocks, smoking or major leaks, seems like a solid engine??.... but......under that it runs a little rough and has a misfire here and there??? It has new timing belt, sprockets, seals and water pump installed less than a year ago by last owner... it will not start cold unless you spray starting fluid in the intake. It will pop and die when not spraying the fluid, also idles around 600-700rpm when it running? it feels like it wants to roar but it needs something with cold fuel mixture or timing or?? I am not a mechanic, I bought it for being green and it just looks awesome!
The interior is pretty good and around a "5-6" on my scale? some cracks on front seats but could easily be resprayed (electric seats work). ack seats are good, of course and rear climate control system works.....Front blower motor however, does not?..All gages work, sunroof and window work, front and rear wiper move. I have check power locking system? headliner is coming apart towards rear (seat pic) visors are all good. I only have 1 key and do have books with original owner and history up to 3300 miles, not much I know... also receipts of rear cv shafts rebuilds but NO paperwork on belt since he was a mechanic and did it himself.
This is all I know, it is too much for me since I am a perfectionist....but if you can get the fuel "thing" fixed and not sweat the small thing, this will be an awesome one of a kind ride!
I might do a buy it now? For the right offer? OH YEAH, brand new porch wheels and tires ! @ $2k worth!
