Why don't we see the 928s

[E Kaplan]

I had a 1985 928 S a few years ago. First the good stuff. Loved the car!
I think it is a beautiful car. The ride is firm and heavy. It was a pleasure to take a long drive. Very fast, expecially when you get the car on the highway.

Now for the bad part. DON'T BUY ONE. Let me repeat myself. DON'T BUY ONE. DON'T EVEN THINK OF BUYING ONE. IF SOMEONE GIVES YOU ONE, DON'T TAKE IT.

These cars are very, very expensive to maintain. The AC will now blow cold. Something is always breaking. It wasn't just my car. Almost everyone I spoke to had the same experience. When you take your car in for any repair, somehow the bills were always near $1,000 or more. I could have leased a new Boxster for the price it took to maintain car.

On day, I started the car up and the engine blew up into 3 pieces. There was a large dent in the hood from the inside of the car. I sold the car for parts for $1,500.

It is so nice to have my Boxster. It always starts and so far, no mechanical problems. After experiencing the 928, my Boxster is a bargain.
