US Version 1984 Porsche 928S
It had 90K miles on it at purchase. This one came with the factory nose bra, updated Porsche 16" rims, wooden Dino steering wheel, Sony stereo system, and more. But it was not running. It needed fuel pump wiring redone. The entire interior was removed from the car and redone - all electrical, all vinyl and leather was dyed, all carpet replaced, etc. What a transformation!
Look for the 928 stores on the web for great pricing over the factory cost.

If you've got one of these cars, or are looking at one, here are things to look for.
- Timing belt. Every 30-45K in this car. If the belt goes, so does the engine. This does not apply to the 1978 to 1979 928s.
- Motor mounts. They seem to last about 100K miles, on average.
- Power steering racks have a tendency to leak.
- Interior leather is not cracked on dash or seats.
- Torque tube and torque converter bearings usually last about 100K miles (and are very costly to replace).
- Fuel pumps are common problems (including fuel filter and fuel relays).
- On early models, AC, vacuum, and 5 speed transmission synchros had a lot of problems.
