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 used to own an 89 s4 - I LOVED that car. One thing I absolutely loved to do was the 0-60-0 in 9 second trick. Wonderful rocket car...fabulous on the freeway, outperformed my wife's 911 all the time.
Until... I had to replace the torque tube bearing. It was one of those while-yer-at-it problems - it turned into a $7k repair bill. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) No way I could afford another big ticket item. There was only one shop in town that was willing to work on it - no other shops wanted ANYTHING to do with a 928 - the electrical system is a nightmare, and parts are REALLY expensive. Makes Beechcraft look like a bargain airplane. So I sold it. MUCH happier with our 911 and 914. Cheers, Peter |
