Dan, I agree, a well kept 928 would be fun. The one I drove had 56k original miles on it, but needed some work. It felt very soft, big, and isolated, probably partly due to needing suspension work. I still love the styling, but the maintenance aspect scares the hell out of me. I think a neglected 928 would be the ultimate money pit Porsche. That DOHC V8 sure does sound nice though.  You obviously agree with my assesment, look what you chose as your moneypit. 
Chris, take some time and browse the Pelican 911 classifieds. I've seen nice Carreras with the 915 gearbox go for $15k. The G50 cars ('87-'89) still seem to hover around $20k. Carreras and SCs really seem to be holding their values very well, not a bad investment from a car standpoint. Far better than the Boxster, which will still depreciate.
