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?

This particular example is billed as “mechanically sound,” and shows 47,359 miles on the odometer.

Sure, the car could use a little cosmetic TLC, but don’t we all these days?

Find this 1983 Porsche 928S for sale from Beverly Hills Car Club for $19,750.

928's are extremely rare in NC and I wouldn't mind driving around in something like this.  If everything on the car works and only moderate cosmetic attention is needed, then this may be a 'reasonable' purchase.

To bad it's BH car club and they are notorious for selling junk. Cool car but I would want a pretty exhaustive inspection of it before putting down a dime.

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

Or, get this one for $10,000 , drop a C5 suspension and drive train into it and build it like this. smiley

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.  smiley
