Hi all,

Since l saw Risky Buisness back in the day, the 928 has had a special place in my heart. Now that l have an opportunity to buy one, what kind of experiences have you had with them? Also, is there weaknesses that l should look at regarding maintainence? Thanks much!

i've never owned one, but l knew someone who had one (for the same reason as you) and he loved it...

weakness??? yea, l will say, make a wrong turn and a guy shoves a gun in your face for your car.buy a rolex watch instead

l used to drive one for autocross
lots of power!

repairs,,, ok for the age

The 928 was very under rated by the majority of Porsche enthusiasts as compared to the 911, etc. They started in 1977 & ended production for the USA in 1995, with the later model years seeing significant improvements in performance & some features. They were very expensive & Porsche parts/labor can be a problem for the not so well heeled. The timing belt is the most critical issue in my opinion & should be changed before factory recommendations (age considerations), so as to avoid cracking leading to breakage. Fluids, belts, hoses, & wear-ables r somewhat comparable to other vehicles.

There r several Porsche forums on the web which many folks contribute their experiences & advice & l would advise getting on several of them for several months so that u get an idea of what folks have gone through, parts sources, & shops which can repair things. If u get serious, get the maintenance history & have it inspected by a Porsche professional. It is German & can be obnoxiously more complicated when compared to other lesser quality sports cars. If taken care of the quality will shine through.
