"I know nothing about 928's whatsoever especially what makes an automatic transmission work so I will blame my transmission not going into gear on the shifter cable because I know it connects to the actual transmission"......
Be patient and find a car you can test drive......

Hello all...
I am new to this site, and I am not yet a 928 owner, but I am trying like hell to get one. They have been my all time favorite car since I saw the black one in Wierd Science as a kid.
My question - How diffiult of a job is it to change the shift cable on an automatic? There is one for sale on c-list that is not far from me, but they claim it needs a new shift cable and the guys mechanic can't do it.
Thanks in advance for the info. I hope to become an owner sooner, rather than later.

Pay for a detailed PPI by a Porsche mechanic that knows 928s (not just any mechanic - get a recommendation here) and use that to negotiate a better selling price.
Good luck with your search!

+++928. The best investment you can make is time - read this forum for 3-6 months. You WILL get a better car and better value as a wiser consumer.
And the $20 to be a member would also be well spent.
You're going to spend thou$and$ anyway, what's a double sawbuck? Even if you end up buying a (shudder) Corvette or a (shudder, shudder) BMW or a (crosses himself) Jaguar.
