MARTY Posted 10February, 2018 Report Share Posted 10February, 2018 Just wondered if anyone with a 968 was interested in selling it in the near future,and just wondered what is a realistic price on a manual at the moment?I know 2 are for sale on carsales one of which in my opinion is way off the mark in asking price.

I highly doubt that, but as he recently bought one, he might be a good source of values and sale prices ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam Arnott Posted 10February, 2018 Report Share Posted 10February, 2018 Dunno! For a decent manual I would have thought somewhere in the $40's but pickings are pretty slim at the moment...... No Clubsports have come up for sale for 6 months or so - it's going to be interesting to see where the next one is pitched, price wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TINGY Posted 11February, 2018 Report Share Posted 11February, 2018 The last CS i saw for sale was the red Sydney car, pretty sure it was around $70k, i wonder what it actually went for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam Arnott Posted 11February, 2018 Report Share Posted 11February, 2018 $75K on the red one. And I offered full price before he pulled it off the market........and then it went back on the market and sold very quickly. Yep quite a few people looking for CS's at the moment!

JLD Posted 3March, 2018 Report Share Posted 3March, 2018 https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-968-1992/SSE-AD-5297843/?Cr=3 was this advertised last year for about $20,000 and was for sale for quite some time? I think out in Berwick perhaps? If I remember correctly, it dropped to $19k and sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear924 Posted 17March, 2018 Report Share Posted 17March, 2018 Noticed this one is the PCQ magazine yesterday. Seems like it's well priced compared to some on cs. http://www.porsche-qld.org.au/PorscheClubs/pc_queensland/pc_main.nsf/web/E84C0B5CDA30CBEBC12581E50006A33A#pagetop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishcop Posted 23April, 2018 Report Share Posted 23April, 2018 I note the only 968s on Carsales (apart from the ClubSport priced manual) are autos... Were the auto 968s any good, or were they "Like a supermodel without a vagina" to quote the 944 auto thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They go hard and with the tiptronic used, they can be driven like a manual ... The only downfall to them is that the transmission is a sealed unit and can't be worked on .... they are a throwaway unit. If you get in touch with @jakroo he can help shed some light ... he bought one a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll have to seek one out in the more unconventional places .... privately, word of mouth, mechanic workshops, etc. Good luck with the search and keep us updated ....

Fishcop Posted 23April, 2018 Report Share Posted 23April, 2018 Really? I knew the 928 Manual was a rare beastie, but didn't realise the 968 was so autocentric. Lots to learn here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakroo Posted 23April, 2018 Report Share Posted 23April, 2018 One has to remember that in the late 80's and early 90's, the majority of Porsches sold were to the 'successful executive' who drove the thing 10 or so kms to work and back in heavy traffic. They didn't want to have to constantly shift gears and use a clutch.... Hence the auto box. Even the super car 928 is almost always an auto for the very same reason. In relation to my water cooled, front engined, automatic transmission car (which by many accounts of this forum is the same as a Toyota Camry), I like the fact that I can choose to drive it like a semi auto ie change and select a gear without a clutch (no different to the modern day PDK), or I can leave it in full auto mode. Could I flog it, spin it up and drop the clutch repeatedly (so to speak)? No. Could I take it out for a spirited drive? Yes. Do I take it out and give it a good run? Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishcop Posted 23April, 2018 Report Share Posted 23April, 2018 Pros and cons of a 968 auto over a 944S2 manual anyone...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stepo Posted 23April, 2018 Report Share Posted 23April, 2018 We’re not talking new cars, basically the same engine, for me it has to be a manual all the way. I like the feeling of changing the gears, reving the engine, riding the clutch and changing down into second in some nice twisties whilst punching out of the corners. Maybe auto is a good choice for new models, but surely you consider the older cars for the feeling and there is no better feeling than a manual 80’s icon .
