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 |

I had a 79 928 several years ago. I got it for $3000.00 or so. It had been repainted and looked sharp. As I pulled into the driveway I lost a quart of oil thru a leaky oil pump seal. $12.00 part and two days labor I fixed it right up. Then as previously mentioned, several vacume leaks, and electrical, AC, and worn clutch issues, I had her running like a champ. Then sold her for 5k or so before anything else broke.
The later DOHC engines were prone to broken timming belts and valve and piston colision, a very expensive repair. All in all they are great touring cars, Luxury and HP. Good Luck , PS.. 928 international is a very reputable and trusted source, tell Mark, Tony from Clark St. WH. sent you. |
