That is a very active 928 board

Was the car at the MBZ dealer?

Good deal: if it is a well cared for car, yes.
Dependable: if all the maintenance is up to date, great cars. A low mile car may have had almost no maintenance done yet, so if you start driving it a lot you will have a lot of maintenance (due to age) to catch up.
If you can't see putting another $6-10k into it in the first 3 years, then pass on it. Will be well worth it if you do.

Not enough info to say it's a great deal. Low mileage is nice, but it may require big ticket items to bring up to speed. Maintenance records are vital - if it needs a timing belt and water pump, figure 1500-2000 right off the bat. Often the AC doesn't work, may be 1500-2000. New shocks/springs, motor mounts, etc. and that 21k looks like a total rip off. Even with a pristine example, 21 k is a little high for an automatic. Most well-cared for auto S4s seem to be fetching less than 18k. It's a VERY soft market for 928s right now; unless the routine maintenance is up to date, the interior/exterior are spotless, and the Carfax is perfect, I'd hold out (unless it's a 5 speed, then it's a decent deal).

FYI, I paid less than 21k for my S4, 5 speed w/ 32k miles. Thought I did fairly well. Didn't consider autos, but wouldn't look more than 18k unless it was a GTS.

That is a good deal if it passes a PPI by a knowledgable mechanic and if it is a GT. It is an ok deal if it passes a PPI by a knowledgeable mechanic and it is an S-4. Look around, there are several nice S-4s on the market. The most important thing is the insurance of a Pee Pee Eye
