Car Forum / Porsche / Porshe 944 / January 2009looking at a 928
I can pick up a 1981 928 with 70K for $4000. In very good shape, recent timing belt, etc. My only concern is the year/age . I have a '87 924 , and there is no way I'd do a '81 924. I've heard 928's take a lot to keep them on the road - Is there any consensus about this old a 928 ? Do I avoid it on principle or go take a look ? I'd want this as my daily driver, to replace the 924 - > I can pick up a 1981 928 with 70K for $4000.

A well-maintained car is a well-maintained car. A cheap Porsche is never cheap. I'm guessing that dropping your gas mileage in half isn't a problem for you? Half the mileage of my 924 !?!? That bad ? Perhaps I'll look at that old VW instead .... No, I'll take the 928 for a drive - On Dec 2, 2:38 pm, "barret bonden" <supp...@networks-cc.com> wrote: > I can pick up a 1981 928 with 70K for $4000.

I'm guessing that dropping your gas mileage in half isn't a problem for you? the 928 is a V-8 not a straight 4, and it is a much heavier car - perhaps some day my previous post will show up you will get less mileage, it is much more of a luxury car, with that luxury car feel - if that's what you want, it's a great car, but it won't feel like a 924/944 > Half the mileage of my 924 !?!?

I drove it - and it's just a lovely car - body in fine shape, fishtailed all over the road as the mechanic took it out of the shop much too fast - for me the gear shift pattern took some getting used to ( reverse up and to the left !) - but it needs a clutch and timing belt - so all told it's $6400 - and it's OLD - even with just 70 K you can feel the years in her - Looks like I could never get the money out of it if I wanted to sell - but perhaps- > the 928 is a V-8 not a straight 4, and it is a much heavier car - perhaps > some day my previous post will show up [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] >> never cheap.
