Hey guys, without wanting to, I stumbled upon a very clean looking 1986 Porsche 928s auto box, with a very decent asking price... A bug has now bitten and I'm really considering whether this is a decent buy or will I just be throwing cash at never ending problems?

Any of you with some prior experience, and any comments?
Thanks!

Love these cars, my dad had 2 when I was a kid, many good memories of being driven round in them, when I was 17 I used to take it out when he was on holiday, they drive really well, still look good to this day.

Love. So much love. I used to sit and draw these cars in primary school. I'll have a manual, thanks.

I know two people that have owned these and as pretty as they are, they were nightmares and spent more time on the driveway broken then they did running and most decent length journeys were an utter gamble. Why is this in the B7 section and not in general?

You wouldn't buy one for reliability though, would

Agree.

Agreed - a 928 will make a C5 RS6 look cheap to run!

I've read a few good threads on these on PistonHeads that illustrate what a nightmare they can be. I still love the looks and sound of them though

I like them but remember top gear purchasing one for a challenge and it was constantly breaking.

Lovely car, I must've been lucky with mine in 2 years I didn't even have to top up the oil.

Great car even with the auto. S2 mine was, wanted a S4 GT or GTS but went skint so had to sell

How much space is up front? Could it fit an LSX donk?

This series of youtube vids is worth watching...

Here is the first one, easy to find the rest.
