I'm thinking about buying a 1982 Porsche 928, it has about 150k miles and a lot of it has been restored. But is there anything that I should look for in particular or anything ...show more

Answer:
Ask for maintenance records, get the car checked out by a independent Porsche mechanic. Have the timing chains been replaced along with the tensioners? That stiff steering could mean a power steering pump failing or a worn rack and pinion.

They have a lot of parts in the engine that wear out just by age. Replacement could be an expensive proposition. As a general rule, if you have to replace all those parts, it will run you about $10,000. They overheat. If you live in a hot climate you are going to be sorry. I had one in Florida and it did not matter if you drove fast, slow or in between, it over heated. You should be OK if the outside temp is under 80.

Don't bother with it, it will be more of a drain on your wallet than anything.

I have owned about 8 of them in my life, and I do all my own mechanical work along with body work too, ... I love the car, but it is a money pit, even if you can do the work yourself as I do. This car was in the garage for all of those reasons, and is a "Ticking Time Bomb" for your wallet, and with you as a new owner, do not make that old car your love, it will send you to the poor house and get you divorce papers very quickly. But don't let me talk you away from it, as I love the car ... just like a very pretty women ... it is "HIGH MAINTENANCE" ... good luck and happy driving, you will love it when it is not in the garage for service.
