l read everywhere that the 911 is alot more fun to drive and you only really get a sense of the 928 is speed above 80 mph. Is this true? If you have driven both please help me decide.

buy a skateboard
yes

well, ask yourself this question; how often will you be going over 80? l would go with the ''more fun to drive''

first of all it depends if they are turbos or not aim for a porsche 1983 911 and if you can get it with turbo that would deffinetly go with that and you should most likely get more miles out of it and are you looking for speed in it

l suggesting getting the 83' porche because it is a classic it has more value than the 87' porche

Get the 928S4 - it is a powerful fun car to drive. Not quite as nimble as the '83 911, but much quicker in a straight line, and nicer interior and ride. Also much less likely to spit you into a roadside wall backwards..

The 911 all the way. 1983 is the last year of the SC, a very good model, & it is likely to increase in value. The 928 is a luxury car, & never really took off. Values r flat on the 928, at best.

I've driven both, & own 2 911s, including a 1980 SC. Do not get me wrong. I'd buy a 928 if l found one that was cheap enough & nice enough, but overall it is car to pass up. Honestly, though, I'd probably buy a 944 before l bought & 928.

Go to ur local newsstands & pick up a copy of Excellence Magazine. It will give u a good sense of the Porsche vibe, & typically includes use car value surveys.

I've driven both & currently own a 928S. The 928 will out perform the 911 all day long. It is also more comfortable on long trips. The 911, especially the SC, r great cars & fun to drive. They do not handle as well, & r less forgiving in corners, but there is nothing like them. That being said, they r both 20+ years old, & will require repairs. The 928 is much, much more complex, & almost everything cost 2-3 times as much as the 911. Everything. It will also require more preventative maintenance. On top of that, 928 just can not sit in ur garage (the 911 should really either). If u let it sit, it will start to leak, & the fluids will get messed up, & the next thing u know it is back in the shop. They r both meant to be driven, but the 928 requires it.
If u want performance & comfort, the 928. If u just want weekend Porsche fun, the 911 will do. Although, in my opinion, the 928 is r just bad a##.

the 911 is the way to go. l heard a 928 S4 breaks down a lot .
so l think you should buy the 1983 911.

Two very good cars. though two very different cars. l am somewhat biased towards 911s, & have logged many more laps behind the wheel of various 911 models than l have 928s, though l do have experience here too (and do quite like the 928 models as well).

Which car u should be looking at will depend on what u want & expect. Though the two cars u mention were produced just a few years apart, the basic design of the 911 came about 20 years earlier than that, while the 928 is original design was still less than 10 years old in 1987.

The 911SC: This is a very reliable car, well built, solid, & quick if not downright fast. Like all older 911s they take effort & skill to drive quickly, but with the right driver they can be very quick (quicker than the 928S4 on some tracks). The car has alot of character, though is dated. u will either find this charming or annoying & that alone will tell u if u should be considering this car.

The 928S4: More of a GT car than the 911SC, it is larger, heavier (much much heavier). but in that package is a more comfortable, more modern car that has alot more power. The overall package is less sporty than the 911 (key reason I've driven so few at track events is that they seldomly seem to turn up in this environment), but for driving on the street, they r a great package. And while l have taken many long trips in 911s, it would be hard not to prefer the 928 under such circumstances.

The 928 is a generally reliable car as well. but, there r a number of factors that can add up possible issues. First, 928s have not held their value the way 911s have. which ultimately means that many 928s have found there way into hands of owners that have not had the means to keep them up, as such, u r more likely to find a car with problems when looking at 924/944/914/928 models than u will with most 911s (though there r excellent condition 928s & poor condition 911s). Next, the 911 was produced over a long time, & with 20 years already behind it when the last 911SC came out, it was extremely well developed & was (and is) supported by a large after market in parts. The 928 was never developed to the degree that the 911 was (since it was never raced by the factory, & produced for less time), & it does not have the after market support.

Take ur time & drive a few examples of each, & get a feel for the cars & what they r like. Chances are, once you've done this, u will only be considering one of these models. once u get to that point, read up as much as u can about the specific model so u can select a good one (and still, even then, make sure u have a knowledgable Porsche mechanic do a pre-purchase inspection; the money u spend here could save u a vast amount down the road, as the saying ''a cheap Porsche could be the most expensive car u ever own'' has a strong basis in reality).

l had a 1979 SC Targa 911 3 liters.that was a great car, the 928 is much more civilised.

Be careful on the milleage and check the serial numbers. People tends to rebuilt Porsches 911 from bit and pieces.might look good, but can be a dog too.

Cheers

the 911

Both cars will eat you alive in repair costs if you are not a mechanic.soooo.consider that first.the 911 is somewhat easier to repair .and parts are cheaper.the timing belt on the '28 has to be replaced every 60 k..along with the water pump and rollers.2k for that..the air cooled 911 is WAY more fun to drive and general service can be done by an experienced owner.that is not afraid to get his hands dirty and read the manual..

Dawg you have 2 get the 1983 cause older cars are da bomb

911,
its alot mor efun like u said
and its nicer =)
id like one

Do not buy either. For the best drive possible you need a 944 Turbo 250 BHP. Even the oik Clarkson says it would be on his list of the 10 best cars he has ever driven and that was published just last month. remember when these were new, say 1898 that they cost about £35K. You can get a very good one now for about £8K
