Any 928 Owners out there?, I have a few questions Options

[Tom_T]

I seem to recall somebody posting here that they'd taken their 928 to some 914 or P-car events over the past year, so I think there are some closet Shark fans out there! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I just don't recall who it was, or if there are several??

I have a crazy question which I posted over at the Pelican 928 Forum about whether you could tow with a 928, so any shark lovers here could maybe answer over there:

Otherwise, if you prefer I'll just post it here too, but I didn't want to clutter up a 914 site with 928 questions, and risk being kicked to the sandbox again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

My guess is the trailer issue will be a moot point when you add up the true cost of 928 ownership.

My guess is the trailer issue will be a moot point when you add up the true cost of 928 ownership.

Right now we live 2.2 miles from her work, I'm in RE too (development side) & office at home & only drive to meetings, and live local to malls/stores etc., & kids are both grown & gone.

Ergo, we're only putting about <10k on all vehicles combined, and the trailering might add 1-2k per year max. - so adding a 928 into the mix & more or less evenly dividing the mileage puts it at 3300 mi/yr.

With IIRC 45k interval on the 928 timing belt & torque tube replacements - we should be just fine on annual maintenance costs & insurance - so long as we got one not needing all that to start & or other problems, electrical gremlins, etc. Some owners on the Pelican & other 928 forums are saying $1-2k per year for maintenance, with driving a lot more than we will.

But your comment fits right in line with the last Excellence Buyer Guide comments too. Also low resale - like our 914s 10-15 years ago at their low point in value or the 356's before that, which I think will eventually go up in another 5-10-15 as other P-cars have always done so. So I'm hoping if we bought smart/right now,& care for it for 5-10 years, that resale values by then would be on the upswing.
