IMO the reason for low re-sale pricing for 928s is the _/*very
*/_expensive repair costs for a very complex engine that requires
specialized knowledge (i am told). Along with the engine there are
ancillary systems that can be difficult to maintain.
David is right about the 928 beubg called the ultimate GT car for
covering vast distances quickly in comfort -----
I'd love to have one if I had a good source for parts....

Why all the disdain among Porsche fans for the 928? This is a car that
period reviews called the best GT ever, indescribably better than its
competition. Yet the things now are routinely seen for sale for under
$5000, sometimes way under, for an early example. None of the other
watercooled cars--944, 924S, even the 924-- goes that cheap.
The couple of 928s I drove felt heavy and tank like compared to
the 924S I was driving at the time. I have been told that is because
I was not going fast enough - that the 928 was designed for 100+ mph
on the German freeways. They say the last of them, the GTS model of
early 90s, is the one to have.
The 928 shape suggests a shark to its fans, a toad to its
critics. I think it was just too big a chew for the 911 people who
were fixated on the air cooled rear engine. And Porsche never
promoted the 928 for racing which might have given it more of a
following. And humbled some 911s.
If I wanted performance I would go for a 944 turbo. Otherwise a
968.
