Advices on buying a 928 needed

Sep 01, 2004 1 Replies

Hi group,



I'm a newbie here and maybe this has been overly discuused. If there is a FAQ somewhere, please let me know. I'm in France and I'm thinking about buying a 928. Always loved the look and the sound of this model. What model do I have to look for ? What are the common problems with the



928 ? I only have around 15/20,000 euros to spend. Color doesn't matter as long as it's blue ;-)

TIA

Not much in the way of answers yet. The money you have should be fine. I sold my 1989 S4 with 60,000 miles for this sort of amount about 4 years ago, and that was in great condition with a full service record. I had few problems, so it is hard to say what to look for.

For that money, you should get a good S4 (which seems to be the favourite model) or a GTS. Make sure the cam belt has been changed (it is a 60,000 mile schedule, many do it at 48,000). This is an expensive job. The problems I had were mainly electrical, so it is probably worth checking that everything works. I also had some a/c problems when I first bought the car.

Good luck. I loved my 928 for the six years I drove it. An under-rated classic.
