craiggt3rs Posted 30March, 2019 Report Share Posted 30March, 2019 Hi guys , a good mate of mine owned this car for about 12 years previous to the current owner , it is a genuine MO30 car , well maintained , few stone chips when I last saw it but an honest car !!! I have had 5 968cs's out of the 33 that came to our shores ........they are a great drivers/track car ! Still have 2 Fitzgerald 968 RS's ! Comparing them to 911's is wrong as they are 2 different cars . For those who think the asking price is a bit much ? try finding one ?? let alone an MO30 car of which there were only 14 aussie cars . This car sold through RSR Garage I believe for around $95 k ? approx. 3 years ago ?? Essay and GTP911 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably is a good honest car and that's great, but in mine and a few others opinions here (not that it means anything) it is still over priced. It's in the Fitzgerald's cars territory price wise don't you think? I personally think that a M030 Turbo S 944 would run rings around a 968CS any day of the week but that's been discussed before.

craiggt3rs Posted 31March, 2019 Report Share Posted 31March, 2019 Simple ....find another 968 MO30 for less ? As far as the Fitzgerald cars go , the recent Black car was a bargain ( self interest ) driven both the 968cs & 944 Turbo S ...... yeah the 944 has 10 extra HP but the technology & 1 gear extra in the 968 makes way for a much better car !!

Don't wont to sound like a smart arse but I have 2 of the 5 Fitzgerald cars and they wouldn't be sold for anywhere near that asking price for the 968CS MO30 !!

Essay Posted 31March, 2019 Report Share Posted 31March, 2019 Came across your discussion of my car. I don't have dyno figures but was told that it puts out considerably more than the 176kw or so from factory. Several other items that have been attentioned are the addition of a single mass flywheel and rebuilt Koni suspension. These are real seat of the pants drivers cars. Stewart from NINEAUTO knows the car very well if you're interested. It's not pristine paint, but honest. Happy to keep it but doesn't get driven as much as it should as I'm getting on a bit. Thanks! craiggt3rs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjm968cs Posted 31March, 2019 Report Share Posted 31March, 2019 I own a 968CS with the M030 pack, I have owned it for about 6 years. Prior to this I owned a PRB clubman & I also own a 260Z that I track. The 968 is the nearest thing with a roof that handles as well as the PRB. My wife & I use it to go away on country trips & we find it to be a fast & practical car to go away in I did not buy this car as an investment, but I am very interested to see where prices are going. I see them appear on Carsales rarely for about $80 - $90K Does this tempt to sell it - No I am having a lot of fun with it They seem to appear & then disappear. I assume they are selling!? Shannons took a look at my car & it is currently insured for something around that. They told me that white one sold at their auction for about $76k & that was about a year ago. I wish the person selling this car the best of luck, it looks like a very nice car. The market will dictate what the true value of these cars are Essay and craiggt3rs 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes agreed that Fitzgerald's cars would sell for a pretty good price, going off the price of the last one that sold i wouldn't have thought that it would drag up the price of an M030 CS that much, i guess we will see.

G5032 Posted 1April, 2019 Report Share Posted 1April, 2019 968’s theoretically can be compared to what the 993 was to the aircooled care....the last and best transaxle model...and actually built at the Porsche factory in Zuffenhausen!!!! (944’s were built at the Audi plant) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold996tt Posted 5April, 2019 Report Share Posted 5April, 2019 The 968CS is an amazing car and for its rarity definitely collectible if that's your thing. I have been watching the CS prices a while and they have hovered around the 115k pricw range for some time and haven't really moved. I love my 911s but I would gladly also get one of these one day.
