1982 Porsche 928 4.5L V-8
Summary:
Great older Porsche
Faults:
Electrical problems, and many other minor items related to old age.
Difficult to maintain without factory manuals which are $400/set.
General Comments:
If you like to work on cars and want to fix it yourself (so you can afford it), it is a great older car. Dealer service and parts are very expensive.
Expect to pay about double what parts for American cars cost.
Expect it to require proper TLC!
Expect to really enjoy driving it!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

The sad truth is that although your standards may be very high, virtually everyone else just sees it as an old but not particularly valuable example of the marque.

I have a 1981 5 speed 928, virtually a 1 owner car.
The biggest problem I have encountered since owning the car, is people who think they know every problem a 928 has, they can fix it.
For me it has been nightmare & no one in British Columbia has a clue.
I had the car at "3" so called specialists & all have damaged the car in various forms.
My standard is very high & I expect the same from techs, who simply don't care.
I agree they are a true GT touring car, & when on "song" & set up correctly, simply superb. But like a lot of European motoring, expect to do a lot of ongoing maintenance.
Happy motoring.
