Your right. The 928 is worth the effort.

People always compare the maintenance of a 928 to a Ferrari. To be honest a 928 is far more complex than a 308 or 328 Ferrari. These are straight forward cars. The expense of maintenance makes one wonder if a 308 or 328 is worth it. Before I bought my 944 Turbo I was ready to pull the trigger on a 79 308. I happened to stop by Intersport where there was a 944 Turbo for sale. I drove it and it was love at first drive. I haven't regreted it since. I have had a ton of work done to it. In fact, it still needs more (as one can read on other posts). Despite this, the total 944 Turbo purchase & maintenance money is no wear near the cost of the 308 at the time (around $35,000). Plus a 944 Turbo can blow the paint off a 308 (more even with a 328, but handling is still in the 944 turbo's favor).

However, I feel the 928 is worth the money. A truely great grand touring car. To me it ranks up there with a Maserati Bora or a Lamborghini Espada. It fact a 928 is a bargain compared to the cars I just mentioned, even with maintenance expenses. One day I will buy one. I have heard that the 928 network is quite good in the DC area. Perhaps I should get one sooner rather than later.
