Default WTB: Porsche 968 Coupe, 6 Speed

Currently shopping and ready to pull the trigger in the right car. Looking to spend no more than $20k (ish) although the right specimen may convince me to raise that.

A few things I know I won't compromise on are:
- No accident history
- Must be a 6 speed manual
- Must be either black or tan/cashmere interior

I'm open to most colors but depends on the combo. If you know of a car or are thinking of selling let me know. I'm a cash buyer and pride myself in fair and honest transactions.

Thanks,
Brian

you'd need at least $30K to pry mine out of my hands!

Looks like good 6speeds are becoming harder to find.

Brian,

Ive been toying with the idea of selling.. and moving on to the 993 world before its too late..

Mein 968
'93
manual
Blk/blk
103,xxx miles
lots of records, lots of recent parts replacements ( mostly for piece of mind)
previous owner set up for AutoX ( konis, lowered, a few RS bar products)

im picky and rate the exterior as a 7.5-8. The Interior is beautiful.

PM me if you want to chat

Have you checked their prices lately?
Also, don't expect to be blown away by the performance. It is not 3-4 times the car a 968 is. If anything it is marginally better, if that. The steering turn angle is like an 18 wheeler. The rest is very similar to 968 performance.
Buy it for looks (subjective), for anything else, a 968 is just as good. Owned a C4S for about 1.5 yrs and ended up selling it. Gorgeous car but the performance didn't match the price or looks.

I know someone seriously looking for a 968 6-speed Coupe for a daily driver. Anyone know of a dependable one currently, or about to be, available?

Thinking about selling mine, planning on actively trying in Spring. Here is a link to my ad from a couple years ago when I needed the garage space (914 sold first). Pretty much the same, did a couple more things like brakes and rotors, maintenance stuff, little fixes like the glove compartment door hinge. Added about 4k to mileage (in 2.5 years, thus the sale, just dont use it enough)

Any way, let me know if you're friend is interested.
