Has Anyone Here Owned a 928?

[SeanZ4]

Always thought they were very unique and cool cars. I have a 30 year old poster of one somewhere. Al Pacino bought one in Scarface and then of course the infamous Risky Business cars. Didn't they use 3-4 (all different years/trim) to make that movie? Yeah, they have their issues, like many have said. I'm currently looking to buy a R230 (SL500) and have been hanging on those forums. They make the 928s look damn reasonable to own. I'm wanting to add another toy to the mix. Maybe the 928 is an option. I'm next to a military base and I see them around. I'll have to post in another thread...'please someone talk me out of a R230'.... Coreseller, I say do what YOU want and if you feel comfortable enough with one, get it!

I hear you Sean. Like I said before, these 928's are freakin beautiful and sound right (flat 6's sound cool but IMO have nothing on a V-8), they call me like The Sirens of Titan but cooling off and common sense have to ultimately prevail, at least for me. I've been considering the 928 for about a year now, the more serious I became the more I researched them and lurked in the respective forums. That was my downfall lol, the variety of issues they have front to back and top to bottom scare the crap out of me, all of them age related which no low mile pristine condition car could avoid without a stack of receipts literally 2 inches tall. I am going to chill for a couple of months while I considering other options.

Regarding your MB comment:



I honestly know a handful of guys who've been burned by some of the cars noted.
