  1. Good friend of mine bought a Porsche 928 S4 yesterday and was kind enough to let me drive it today when he brought it over to show off. Damn, I love older German cars.

      Did it come with service records and did he have a ppi done by a 928 specialist?  If not, some things needs to be checked asap.  Engine is interference...regular timing belt, water pump and tensioner replacement is critical.  All rubber fuel lines need to be replaced...it WILL eventually catch fire if they are original.  Original high pressure power steering hose is also a fire hazard.  If automatic, thrust bearing end play needs to be checked and tension off the torque tube needs to be released by loosening a clamp.  It's an engineering design flaw that allows the torque tube to creep forward and put pressure on the flex plate and thrust bearing.  If driven long enough, internal engine boring starts and you won't know the damage is happening until the engine is completely destroyed.  That area is easy to access and check during oil changes and improved aftermarket clamps exist.

      Being a member of Rennlist forms is a must for 928 owners.

      The Porsche 928 is one car I would like to own. Truth be told, I would mind riding along with you.

      @Turbo-Torch It's a Canadian-market car he bought from the second owner, who is best friends with the original owner. Always dealer maintained. My friend is a long-time Porsche enthusiast and owner who knows what he's doing. It's a sweet ride, despite being an automatic ?
