The 928 market is significantly smaller than the 911 but is no less passionate. Years ago many cars did fall victim to the 944 phenomenon but it would seem that the trend is for a new round of serious owners picking these cars up and caring for them as needed.

With auction mania or a flip plan in the back of their head just in case. The purists/enthusiasts will care for them but the money will hound them to sell and make a killing. How many of us get "what's a car like this worth" questions? Rare is the person (out in public) who asks about something other than a car's worth these days.

Last year I turned down an offer on my 94 928GTS of twice what I paid for it 7 years ago.

The offer was fair market value.

I wanted a 928 as a nice GT touring car for vacations with my wife

Now, the price is so close I will probably go for a panamera for that purpose instead

Somehow they both scratch the same itch for me
( that along with my 73 RSR replica and I think I'll be all set)
