I just now saw these up for bidding on PCarMarket auction site. I know nothing about them but thought I'd post the link in case they are the good stuff and someone is in need.

Thanks for sharing the link! These are a Very Good Buy at $100 (current bid amount) for pre-S3 owners. The maroon binder sets will have updates through the date they were actually sold. But may not have the full sections for 32V cars for instance. An owner of a 32V car (85-86 US cars) would want to ask for what sections for those cars are in this particular set.
The model years this set covers include the highest fraction of 928 cars sold in North America during the whole model run.
For perspective, 'excellent' full gray-binder sets through MY 1995 sell for multiples of the current bid amount. In my experience, trying to own one of these cars without the manuals is, generously, a foolhardy adventure. Trying to maintain one yourself without the manuals is a lot worse. I bought a set before I flew to pick up my own car.

Per the auction link, the manual set was sold (and purchased) well.
Thanks to @blueline for the link and the thoughtful sharing. And we look forward to another happy 928 owner, properly equipped with a factory manuals set.
