Fishcop Posted 24December, 2020 Report Share Posted 24December, 2020 Depending on the sale price, and despite missing the 030 stuff - I still think this is a lovely looking and fun car and you can legitimately call it a Club Sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARTY Posted 25December, 2020 Report Share Posted 25December, 2020 It looks tidy price seems pretty reasonable could be a good buy to get into 968cs ownership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason E Posted 25December, 2020 Report Share Posted 25December, 2020 Agreed, it is a lovely thing. I know the tipper haters will scream at me but as a daily this would be outstanding.

If you've owned a 944 then you'll know how good a 968 will handle (even in a tipper). And this has got to be about as close as you can come to owning a new 968 these days. BUT at this price you can still get 911s with low Ks around this money. This car IS worth this money, it's just not worth THIS money. If you know what I mean...........

I bought a very low k old X5 with the same reasoning, but it was only about 10% more than a much higher kilometre equivalent. Knowing you can get a 2.9l or 3.4l Cayman or Boxster with PDK for the same money that is 20 years younger and has the same ks makes that 968 tough to consider at that price. At $70k I would take the Cayman or Boxster over the 968. eg https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2009-porsche-boxster-s-987-auto-my10/OAG-AD-19410211 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree totally HOWEVER the only advantage the 968 would have over every other Porsche (excepting of course the Macan/ Cayenne & 928 to a degree) when you are talking daily drivers is that they are truly practical sports cars. I was always amazed at what could fit in the back of my 944. As a daily tipper (even more practicular 😀) I think they are unbeatable. If you needed one car & wanted the sporty alternative, cracking.

I had a conversation with someone on the forum about this yesterday, you just can't compare the 2, they totally different in so many ways.

Sure, but I guess I mean from a value proposition for a sports car... I know it’s comparing apples with oranges, but for me it would be difficult spending $70k on a 30 year old 3.0l 968 vs a 10 year old 3.4l Boxster S. You could even compare to a 996 vs the 968, both water cooled coupes. The 996 would win for me, hence me thinking the 968 is overpriced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 996 would win for me, hence me thinking the 968 is overpriced I think this is the most relevant comparison. A good 996 is plus or minus 60K or so. A 997 starts about mid 80's. Both have the cache of also being 911's. 911's are beautiful machines. I like the look of the 968 but the 911 gives me a horn that the 968 doesn't. My wife said, "the 911 is sexy, the 968 is yucky". Hard to invest 70k in a yucky car. I think they're pretty & I know they drive extraordinarily - but only worth grabbing at a price. More practical than a 911 though. I keep saying, it would make a great daily or GT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakroo Posted 27December, 2020 Report Share Posted 27December, 2020 Maybe you need to rethink your anti black 968 thought, and I should also rethink my won't sell sentiment.....and it won't be 70k either 🙂 SteveF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
