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 |

Back in 1990, I was working at a Porsche dealership. The Porsche rep came in one day, threw me his keys and said go for a ride. It was a 928GTS. That car was unbelievably smooth at high speed. I thought I was doing about 95mph (I've got a very good sense of speed), but man was I wrong - I was doing 145 on the Interstate approaching Downtown Tampa. I brought that car back an hour later. Very Cool Car. Glad I didn't own - I'd be in the slammer.
