I bought a $10,600 928 in 1999, and I now have about $25,000 into it. That means $15,000 of improvements and upgrades, along with the normal maintenance items for 11 years. If you can turn a wrench and have good short-distance vision as I do, you can do your own maintenance for the most part and save a bunch of money. But Susan at Devek told me a few years ago that a typical overhaul of an M28 engine in their shop was around $25,000. A pair of heads destroyed due to a failed timing belt can easily work out to $6000. The long and short is that you can spend endless dollars on these cars. Where do you draw the line? At what point can YOU do the work.
