V8 power, a manual gearbox and a Porsche badge on the hood, what’s not to love? And did we mention it can be bought for nearly $10,000 less than a brand-new Miata?

I'm sure deferred maintenance and general repairs will easily make up the cost difference to the Miata :)
A quick FBM search shows several nice ones a few years newer in the 25-30k range

Beverly Hills Car Club.com: Porsche 928s $10,000
I'm a big fan of the 928 headlight delete. That one for sale does look a bit rought for the price, but manual transmissions are pretty rare in these.
It reminds me of the first one I ever saw. 1979. Same color and all. It was parked inside a shopping mall along with a 930 and a 944. My father chatted up the sales guy and on the way home he remarked that while expensive at $36,000 it was a much better bargain than the "souped up Volkswagen" 930.

Nothing is more expensive than a cheep Porsche.
