Whats the main difference btw the 928s4 vs 928

please help me out, in regards to the best years, and the drive.I'm looking to buy one, and i need help with the price. I see alot of automatic, is that a good thing for this particular model, or am i just running into alot of automatic?. Very seldom do i find a stick. also how is the gas on this v8, is it a gas drinking?
thanks for the feedback if you have any.....

s4 much more desireable.
manuals account fot about 10% use supply, also more desireable. In my opinion, manual is way more involved.

I get 15-18mpg.

Make sure you get a thorough inpsection by porsche mechanic before purchase. Dealyed maintenance can cost more than the car.

jorj7 is on a distinguished road
rvhpno80,

The 928 can be the generic designation, or the MY 78-82, then came the
928S from 83-86, S4 from 87-91, and GTS from 93-95 (these are US models).
The 89-91 GT was a version of the S4 with hotter cams and 5-speed.

See http://928.jorj7.com/factable.html for more details.

As for auto to 5-speed, the 5-speed had less made, usually quicker, and
harder to find in good condition. The auto is still a very good option for
this car, since it's mainly a Grand Touring Car, designed for high speed
cruising. I have an auto because it can handle more power then the
5-speed, and in Open Road Racing we don't do much shifting, just stay in
top gear from 140-200+ mph for 90 to 100 miles of Nevada highway.
