I see alot of Porsche 928's on Craigslist for $5,000-$10,000. Why so cheep ? They are great looking cars and V8 powerd. I have always thought that the 928 was one of the coolest looking Porsches ever made. Is there a reason?
Also, any 914 guys in central Illinois? Thanks Bob |

The biggest issue with the 928 is its orphan status.
The 914, 924,944,911 etc use alot of common parts. These cars all have VW and Audi parts in the mix... That makes these parts easier to find and more of a common item. The 928 has about 135 electrical sensors and switches...these are all unique to the 928. Interior parts on most porsche products are from VW/Audi also. Not the 928. Even the seat switch to move the seat is unique... With the age of these cars, alot of the electrical items need to be replaced. The motor is fantastic, the tranny is robust, the body does not seem to rust. The Electrical systems are falling apart now and unless you are willing to deal with that...its gonna cost you quite a bit. Rich |
