Nikos Posted 2November, 2020 Report Share Posted 2November, 2020 Did that price just go up? Could have sworn it was sub-$90K originally? Probably got excited when everyone clicked on the link and he was notified interest was increasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikos Posted 2November, 2020 Report Share Posted 2November, 2020 Thought so. Never a good look when they do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgy Posted 2November, 2020 Report Share Posted 2November, 2020 It's definitely a genuine CS (sales type 968411 on the kardex) What is not clear, is where its located.... no local history? Although very thorough history in UK. Looks shit hot! I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's the way to sell it, put the price up after most interested punters have seen the lower price and are now probably put off. At least it's the correct color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This carsales one has a mph ODO and the Shannon's one had different ODO km's, different aftermarket stereo, and different buttons next to the manual shifter by the looks of it: https://www.shannons.com.au/auctions/2020-shannons-winter-timed-online-auction/E8AR83EFG0A3A3KZ/ craiggt3rs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buchanan Automotive Posted 2November, 2020 Report Share Posted 2November, 2020 As some of you may or may not know the 968 Club Sport came in a few " Specifications / options " meaning its quite common to see a genuine 968 Club Sport without the M030 suspension and brake package from the factory and looking at the photos it looks as if its not a M030 version , meaning this car came from the factory with the standard Boge shocks and springs and the smaller front brakes on the front ( smaller non X drilled front discs/smaller calipers/ smaller pads / & on the rear no X drilled discs ) the reason is the M030 option back in 1993 etc was expensive in the time when interest rates were at or close to a all time high Note } The M030 package was expensive new , in regards to the brakes , the Bigger front Brembo calipers & bigger front pads ( similar to the 928S4 ) , unique ( bigger ) front discs , similar to the 928S4 but with X drilled holes , the rear brake discs also were unique being X drilled as well Note 2 } The M030 package came with not just the brakes but also different front stub axles , different front ( Koni ) shocks with height adjustment and different front springs , bigger ( hollow 30mm front sway bar ) , the rear suspension had larger dia Torsion bars ( main springs ) , unique Koni rear shocks with extra helper springs & different ( adjustable ) rear sway bar Note 3 } The M030 came with a LSD , either Torsen or ZF plate type With the front springs on this car being smaller dia yellow & aftermarket strut tops etc , this makes sense because the suspension on this car over the decades had some handling improvements , because the standard Boge set up was a bit on the wallow side of handling You could order a 968CS "new" with front and rear seats , but of course the front seats backrests would need to tilt , but this was not a common option , the standard 968CS came with the "Racing " style bucket seats with cloth inserts & these seats the back rest will not tilt as its fixed & being this car has the rear parcel tray ( no rear seats ) , this car would most likely had from new the Racing Style buckets , but they did not have the word Recaro on them in big clear letters , so the seats in this car are most likely a replacement at time time in its past crsedge, brian in buddina, craiggt3rs and 6 others 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikos Posted 2November, 2020 Report Share Posted 2November, 2020 What did your car sell for 12m ago since the current owner has it listed now with CTS? I'm assuming it's as good as it looks, and it's a clean original example with good documented history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikos Posted 6November, 2020 Report Share Posted 6November, 2020 Looks like the CS @ CTS has sold Thought it was a good investment given what prices are doing atm. Hope it went to a good home. craiggt3rs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
