Appy polly wollogies
My bad Dano, Sorry if that came across as negative towards the OB or 4.5 crowd. It was not meant as such and I apologize for the misunderstanding. I was speaking more towards the interior than the engine, which, as you correctly pointed out, is perfectly good and yes, there are a lot of good, running 4.5s out there that will continue to serve there owners very well. ANY good 16v was my previous suggestion and I hold with it. This includes the 4.5 of course.
Further, IMHO, I would take a RUNNING 4.5 OVER a 32v that has eaten itself some time in the past for reasons that should be obvious to fellow enthusiasts. The only caution I can give for the 4.5 is that I have seen a few with snapped cams, which is not such a bid deal as they can usually be brought back if the rest of car is worth the effort.
Additionally, 4.5s are plentiful and (relatively) inexpensive when it comes to parts, which can really help when push comes to shove. I am not a CIS fan, but have muddled through successfully so far and expect that an individual with "reasonable" mechanical aptitude could do the same if necessary.
In summation, we are all in this together and any distinctions between 928 owners based upon what Particular model they have or prefer is just silly.
