Cam across a $3k 84 928 5 speed. Bad paint, worse interior. Runs fine. No history on clutch, timing belt, etc. Sounds like a potential gaping hole in my wallet, right?

Also sounds amazing! :)
Does it come with phone dials? If so, yes, purchase it right now.
NO. Too new. Slotted dishs. So this car sounds like a reasonable price??
After briefly owning a 951S and having to work on it, I think I'd rather have that $1500 Sebring Kit Car than a beat up 928.
At least my 924 is stupid simple to work on and I guess if you rip out the luxury stuff in the 928 you'd have a relatively quick V8 RWD German Muscle car.
Yeah, a 928 and an air conditioned glove box is simple, right? LOL.
Now I'm trying to find out what years phone dials were sold. This information is going to be very useful someday. Wouldn't buy the 928 you're describing.

Only if you care about it working. If I were to own one, I'd rip out the 80's electronics and go back to basics with modern EFI and very little luxury stuff inside. Basically an updated Italian supercar where everything looks nice, but very little of it works but you don't care since the car still runs and drives :)
Pasha?
OOOOOO, pasha! Even though not stock to an 84, maybe a backdate thingy could be done.

That's a 924 ;)
Good lord, that is brain melting to look at.

Reminds me why I follow Magnus Walker Instagram.
I had a cheapo 928S, an '84 5-speed like this one. Mine was GP White with Cancan Red interior. It was fun and wasn't a huge money pit. The clutch pedal broke during my test drive!
Anyway, I say go for it. Most enginey stuff on a 16v car is pretty DIYable, and the electronics aren't as bad as people say.

Of course it is, but it's an awesome photo.

Isn't 3k steep?

In truth, all that Pasha threw me off. I had to do a triple take to make sure ;)

I feel like if you're gonna get a $3k 928, it realy should be THIS EPIC ONE WITH THE REAR END PAINTED IN A BEACH SCENE

In the bathroom throwing up trying to get my eyes to uncross.

Believe it or not, that one looks worse. And it's an auto.
I actually wouldn't mind an automatic in one of these things.

Me either. To me, 928s are GT cars, not true sports cars. I can live with an auto in a GT car.
For $3k, it's almost worth buying it just to park it on your lawn so you can look at it.

If that's my goal the xjs is half the money.
There's an automatic 928 for $1k on the Phoenix Craigslist: https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/cto/d/1980-porsche-928/6481142217.html
Manual makes desirable and the 3k not unreasonable. Especially if it is running driving car.
Back in the 1990s there were a bunch of these that were gutted out race cars. I got to drive one on track and it was a really fun fast car.
