For those of you that are not familiar about 928 (from cardomain) 928 would probably own the bmw on the left.


Hmmm, I think I'm so in love with it and considering to buy one

Man, it is great!.... if you dig AMC Pacers!



Oh, and if the odometer goes to 180mph, I wonder what the speedometer goes to. 100,000?

The one on ebay is 39k, not bad for an old car. My 98 box only has 32k.

Dang, that is pretty good mileage for that old of a car... Do you think that even though its low mileage, that TIME would have taken its toll on the normal wear and tear parts?

I like the 928 and it is a very nice touring coupe. Handles well, soaks up highway miles.

The late models are the ones to have as many improvements were made from the 1979 intro date. Car also got a more powerful and better engine.

However, beware on condition, as these repair costs can drive you to the poor house faster than to ecstacy.

No, just a LOT of research. Every once in a while, I get very close to buying one of these bad boys.

SOMEDAY!!!

I have always had a secret desire to get a 928. It just looks SO ********************en.

Porsche V8. Nuff said.

But my mechanic also told me "Danger Will Robinson!!"

Boxster repairs = expensive

928 repairs = 2nd mortgage

Probably, I will still get one at some point.

Of course I have been telling myself this for 10 years.

A 95 GT. Low miles. Guards Red. Stick shift.

As a matter of fact, I saw one on autotrader the other day just like that with 21k miles.

Only 60K!!

GTS' aren't cheap in our neck of the woods either

Hate to hurt anyone's feelings, but we get WAY more looks when we're in the 928 than the Boxster. Of course, the only view a Boxster ever gets of my 928 is from behind. I love them both, but when given the choice I drive the 928.

A few facts about the Shark that may help you admire it a little more:

1) It was the most expensive production Porsche of its' time. Mine was 62,500 sticker in 1987. Mucho mas if it were sold today.

2) Full (and I mean FULL) leather interior. The ceiling, walls, door panels, everything but the dash board are leather.

3) The 1987 928 set the speed record of the time for any production car at 171MPH....stock, out of the box.

4) Can you say 316HP with no mods. That's just the '87 as later models had even more. With my X-Pipes added and a couple of other minor tweaks we're at 350rwHP. Supercharge this baby and you are gone.

5) On the highway and in the mountains, the Boxster can't keep up. Much closer in the mountains, not a chance on the highway.

6) People ask "what does 87SHARK mean on your license plate". When you say Shark is a nickname for the 928 and 87 is they model year, everyone says "That's a 20 year old car? It looks new!". One of the fellow forum buddies had his boss try and impress him saying he loved his new Porsche and was looking at the same one on the showroom floor the week before. The problem is that was two years ago and the 928 went out of production in '95. Timeless beauty.

7) It looks really good with Rebecca DeMornay on the hood.
