Has Anyone Here Owned a 928?

They were incredible cutting edge cars in their day, now that they are 25 plus years old the attention that they seem to require (thrust bearing / flex plate issues, electrical gremlins seem to abound, torque tube related, cooling system, 7 foot long timing belt / tensioner / Porkensioner, Intake / top end refresh, water pump, power steering issues, funky interior / dash pad issues, etc.) in comparison to air cooled 911's is dulling their shine for me.

Agreed. I'm also a fan, but the maintenance etc keeps me away.
On the fantasy list, I'd love to see a 928 with a Panamera drivetrain and some interior bits.

It sounds like 'risky business' owning one of these.

Could be. Given my growing sensitivity regarding *sshat comments from a plethora of newbs, I think I found the right model.



And No....believe it or not I'm not crotchety by nature.......
