Dr. Osidak,
Tell your friend that the car must, MUST, have a complete service record. The 928 was an extremely advanced and complicated car for its time and required lots of expensive maintenance. If maintained properly,
the motor has been described as 'bullet proof' if not maintained it could get expensive quick. It is very important that your friend knows when the timing belt was last changed, if service records with the car do not show when it was changed last, tell your friend to get an estimate on what that would cost to have it done at a dealer. Tell your friend to do this BEFORE he buys the car.
The car is also prone to electrical gliches and has a complicated clutch set up that can be difficult to adjust.
If the car is not to be driven every day, it should be hooked up to a battery tender.
The car is heavy, so it tends to use up rear tires.
The 928 is a great highway cruiser, great for long trips. The 911 is lots more fun on the back roads. One last thing, a 928 may not hold its value as well as a 911.
