RE: all 928 owners please chime in.
The 928 is a very expensive car to maintain. Labor rates (hours it takes to do a job) are very high on these cars due to their design. They are good cars if you can find a nice example of a well taken car, but you can bury yourself very quickly if you are not careful.

Parts for the 928 made a significant drop in the early 90's. Contrary to another post, mine does like to be DRIVEN hard, but with out abuse, and it is still as solid as a bank vault!! |
RE: all 928 owners please chime in.
I have an '89 5-speed, and it has treated me well -- I love it. I would not buy one unless I could at least say the following:
- I love 928s and must have one (this is critical) - I have a trusted, competent, and affordable mechanic (928 expertise *can* be acquired) - The 928 I'm looking at has factory wiring (no hack alarms or irreversible stereo surgeryin that mile of wiring) - The 928 I'm looking at has had documented, timely, and correct repair work (especially the timing belt) - I understand that I am not buying a new car, and know that even a Camry would also likely need significant work if it were 11 to 28 years old, driven or not - I can budget at least $2K per year for maintenance/upgrades without crying (you could spend less if you're smart) - I have another car I can drive in bad weather (928 spoilers are low & vulnerable) - The rest of the 928 I'm looking at checks out (rust/accident repairs/salvage title/odometer/etc.) I agree with Phoenix44 -- 928s are solid cars that are built to last, if you're up for it. -Robert http://www.928registry.org/1989-928S4-1141.htm |
