price isnt THAT far off. Asuming its in really nice shape i would say maybe 15-16k? idk 968's seem to be really hit and miss with sale prices.

Seeing as the seller claims its a multiple concourse winner it doesn't seem that crazy.

Sounds like a fair starting price for that particular car.

Just because you see 968's for 10k does not mean they all should sell 10k.
I would say 14k to 16k is more realistic.

If that's the Concours de Elegance in Pebble Beach (right by where the car is selling) and it's a winner, it's on DAMN clean car!!! Have you seen what shows there? That's some serious s**t!

You probably could not even drive a 968 into the parking lot at Pebble Beach de Elegance.

Multiple 1st Place Concours de Elegance winner, never tracked or raced,maintenance records ava
I participated in a few PCA concour years ago. If the above is true then 20k is probably fair. Not a smoking deal, but I'd guess the car to be very very nice. Nice low mileage, maual 968 coupes can be hard to find.

$20k is on the higher side, but still somewhat realistic, barely. I know someone who waited months until they found the "right" 968, and they paid over 25k for it. Makes no sense, for $25k I can buy a 10k car, restore it and rebuild the engine as a 3.0L turbo.

But you're right, for that much money, it better be a nice car inside & out.

If I had to sit inside that car I'd feel like I was in the circus. It would be fun.. But very weird..
