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.

As always buy the best car you can for the price you can afford. if the decision is between two cars get the one that is newer. Every year has something refined a little more. 87 and up would be my choice if it ever comes down to it. I miss my 78 5 speed Damn that car was great on the highway.
but not worth a shit for my new passion. Racing in the cones. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)
They do make great speedway cars for DE events. 86.5 was a great year as itwas the old body style with S4 everything else. 89 GT was "THE" best in my opinion.

There is no such thing as a fixer upper for a 928. if it needs fixing pass it by. there is another car for sale everyday. I agree going with Devek to help find a car, they know all the good ones and have a real fast shop car. Like 200 MPH plus no shit for real bad ass car.
