Why don't we see the 928s

There are actually quite a few here in SoCal. I have a friend who owns one (with automatic), and took a ride in another during an open track day. Fun car although pretty big and heavy. Wags the tail easily under power. Sounds great. Maintenance and repair comparable to a Ferarri 308. Ouch!

My friend's dad has a 928 that he bought new in 1982. He ended up selling it a few years back but told the guy who bought it that he might buy it back if the guy ever got tired of it. Well, sure enough, he bought it back from the guy. Now it spends most of its time parked in a barn in Maryland because her dad lives in Philadelphia and doesn't drive there.

I hear the maintenance can eclipse the car value in a hurry, I could have bought a five speed a few years back for 15K. Never really liked the body design either.

A video that may change one's perspective on whether the 928 is only a Grand Touring car (yeah, I know, it's built to the max but an incredible video nonetheless):

I absolutely love 928's! If they were more reliable and readily available I'd have one. I got a ride in an S4 circa 1987... WOW. One of the best times I had in a car outside of dating my high school girl friend
Since then I've test drove a couple non-S types... not that impressive, I would have to have the S4 or GT.

I see a couple of them regularly that are in excellent condition. My mechanic in NorCal (Rich Bontempi) told me years ago that 928's were very expensive to maintain. The engine is packed in tight, access to items like cooling system components is poor. The car was full of electronics, leading to more maintenance issues.

Check out Renegade Hybrids online. They make kits to drop a chevy v8 in a 928. Very fast, very reliable and cheap. Find one without an engine and GO>
