Five previous owners :shock: . It's either the V5 for something else it's been through the hands of people who don't want to pay for/can't afford maintenance and have sold it on before any bills have come along.

5 isn’t that many on that sort of car. Sporty/interesting cars often have more owners - enthusiast people have them for a year or two and move onto the next interesting car on their want list.

I was owner number 10 on my M3 and it’s service history was perfect and it gave me 35k if reliable motoring.

I hadn't realised it was 9 years old too, which doesn't make it as bad as I thought. I usually keep cars for a few years so slightly alien to me.

I can charge a small fee for saying F360s are going to tank in value and people need to get rid now?

The 928 is kind of like the old BMW 6 series to me. They can look Absolutely fantastic in the right trim level, colour and wheel/ride height/offset. Or can just look awful, But I can’t quite put my finger on what that perfect combo is!

Would you really take one over a 996, though?

Yes, but I'm a sucker for that era of Porsche. If it's been rebuilt to a high standard by capable folks, £16.5 does seem cheap.

RichB, did you see the green/tan 928 on Collecting Cars the other week... That looked pretty perfect to me. Wheels are critical on the 928 though, bad ones ruin the look! (I would have to change the ones in the blue car for example)

I sort of like them, but for me, like a Jag XJS or a Triumph Stag, they’re a £5k car at best.

The Saab stand was next to the Jag stand a number of years ago at a car show and the man next to me had an electric toothbrush and was using it to clean his XJS wheels. :shock:

A 928 was my dream car as a kid. I thought I had convinced my Mum to trade her Polo in against a white one with checkerboard cloth interior but in retrospect she may have been playing along. :|
