Beautiful car!
Maintenance is the deal breaker for me. I hear you can only get 8k out of a clutch on one of them. A buddy who knows a buddy has a 360 and I was shocked how much repairs had to be done on a car with less than 10k miles.

Guys thanks for the encouragement.. I'll try to get some more pics today... it is a 5speed and the price was too good not to pass up... less than those GTS's on ebay by a bit. she has a few things that need fixin'.. thus the price.. from what I've done on the car so far... various cables in the door becoming dislodged, stereo switch out and repair of half *** PO cobbling.. compared to a 30 year old 928, it's an EASY car to work on. I anticipate reliability will be pretty good, at least on par with a modern Porsche, same basic components. she's a euro and she has 50k miles on the clock.. so she has been driven and didn't sit. Just surprising to me what my pip described as a 5/10 Ferrari compares to a 5/10 928. the Ferrari 5/10 looks new...
As far as the camaro or corvette remarks... when you have a car like this, You don't have to answer the comment. :-)
Once you take care of a 928, anything else is cake.
Again, thanks guys and I'll try to get some better pics today for those interested..

That F-car is really nice. But I fear the 928 will quickly fade in its presence, and you won't have the time to maintain and drive it. That's when 928s usually start to deteriorate quickly. But I could be wrong. And in this case, I really like to be wrong!
