my temblor (motor mount killer) will probably go another 200 K miles.

Current 948 owner FYI .......No joke, I was driving to work this morning, stopped at a light and looked down at the tach cause I thought the engine had quit.....The V8 idles that smooth.....lit the tires up from a dead idle and fish-tailed into the parking lot ...LOL

No, just commenting that the heavy 968 convertble needs more power and that specific one even more so since the engine is probably toast. I drove one a few years back......Low-T compared to a 948 LOL

Nice car but priced at the very top of the market. You can get an early 996 convertible for what they're asking for the 968. I know it's 2 different cars but.......

I don't think that ebay ad is as bad as you all think. The hood is misaligned, but most of the other panel problems appear to be caused by a lousy program "shrinking" the image sizes. The side skirts are coming off a little but that can be a problem for any car that has had too much sun time.
I'd look at it in person before deciding it was really in that bad of shape. A little effort into this car would go a long way, especially considering how much he's asking.

i think even the best 968 interiors (perfect example, that Iris Blue LSD) still look very "kit car" to me.
i think the 996 interior has a superior modern "shape" that all our cars lack. just sayin.

Looks like the car is worth $3000 at this moment and still going up. Guess some people do not know 968's as well as they think. I sure would have loved to have got the car for $2500 and doubled my money by parting it out.
