"Beautiful GREAT car. I had an 82 Euro signatures series. I raced it for one year and put $25,000 in repairs. Keep in mind that little things like a radiator cost well over $1000. What a painful (but fun)......."
So true.
The shifter handle on mine broke. It's made of plastic with a leather covering. The plastic part of it is not that durable. I tried carefully glueing it, it lasted for 2 months. A new, straight from the fatherland shift handle is $400(!!!!). A used one goes for $200.
I got a replacement from 928 International. It costs about $50.
It's a cheesy plastic "carbon fiber look" on top, but the base is metal. Way better than the stocker.
Parts can be outrageously expensive. A starter is $500. A single fuel injector is $60-75. And, if you have a manual tranny, a clutch job with parts is $2000+.
But, if you take care of it, major things just don't break. The oil pan holds about 12qts of oil. The recommend oil change is, I think, 7500-10000 mi. But I still change every 3000, just to be safe. The engine has hydraulic lifters, so no adjustments. If you keep up the maintence, it will last and last.
