I am looking for a daily driver with AC and automatic transmission (and I want it to be Porsche.) I posted a question last week about people's experiences with 968s and 986s (Boxsters). Had several suggestions that I too consider a 928.
So, for my reading on the web they appear to be: 1. Powerful 2. Roomy 3. Good traveling cars 4. Fairly affordable to purchase So, what else do I need to know? Again, thanks for your input. |

I have owned 5 of them, the first an '84 in '91 (lost my ass in depreciation). I agree with everything in the above posts.
My .02---------DON'T buy a project. They have depreciated more than any Porsche except the 944 so you get a lot of bang for the buck. Find a well documented, one or two owner car with relatively low miles. There are lots out there with under 100K. I sold a very nice 2-owner '81 with 82K miles 2 years ago for $6000. I wanted to buy my current '84 which had only 37K miles. Paid $11000 which was a bit high but I wanted the car. You will get about 12-15 mpg city but can do better than 20 on a freeway cruise at 70 mph. You will have decent AC (not great in early models), cruise control, power seats and windows and other creature comforts. Sunroof so small it should be called a sun "slit". People think my 22 year-old daily driver is a near new car. I love 928's. Anybody got a line on a nice GTS with low miles at a reasobable price? |
