I still remember seeing singer John Denver driving his black 928 on frontage road in Vail, Co!

agreed on the 928.. def ahead of its time, and I do not see many of them on the road. I have not passed one while driving mine yet and I have only seen 2 on the road in the past year. mine def gets a lot of heads to turn, it is funny watching people look at you like you have 3 heads.,.

new porsches, I would def like to rock a cayman . budget does not quite allow for it right now, however am in the process of potentially getting a decent little state job and i have no wife, no kids, minimal bills... might be doing to splurging

The ad has one of my biggest pet peeves...."11,217 miles on odo".
Just state the freakin' mileage is unknown! Whenever I see that mentioned in an ad, I picture the seller as a slick talking bull****ter. In other words the CAR has 111K, 211K or it's a bastardized Frankenstein with a speedo from another car.

Not sure what dictates the price as they seem to range from $8K to $25K on ebay. Some of the lower priced models looked to be very nice. I don't know much about 912s but I'm thinking this one is far from original and should be at the lower end of the price scale. New floor pans and its location is also a red flag for hidden structural rot and bondo under the fresh looking paint.

I do like the overall style. My 2nd choice over a 928 would be a late 80s 911 turbo in red.

This is a pretty 912, but it's too much of a 911 clone for me. I can buy a '67 912 right now for $700, but it has rusty floor pans and needs a ton of work. I looked at a Panamera at the Porsche dealer in Mobile Alabama. It was not a bad looking car in person. I agree photos don't do it justice.
I'm not much for 912s or 914s to tell you the truth. Most of them are rebuilt rust buckets. Many early 911s are too. It's hard to find a good old one but I f***ing did it. I wouldn't trade my 928s for a 914 or a 912. I really want a 935.

The Panamera is OK, it's nice, although, I gotta admit, it's not my favorite 4-door design out there...to me, the back-end of the car just doesn't look right...maybe it's just me? I dunno.....And yeah, I know Porsche mostly makes 2-door sports cars, but, they should offer the Panamera in a 2-Door version....At least ONE model???

Just my 2c
