Not true for me. I wanted a cab, not a coupe, because my 911 was (and is) a fun special occasion car and I like to drive with the top down. At the time that I bought my 964 (16 years ago), there wasn't much difference in value between coupes and cabs, but cost wasn't a consideration for me.

As was noted previously, Targas have historically been viewed as a compromise between a coupe and a cab - not a real convertible with a fully reclining top and also not secure, leakfree and stiff like a coupe. For that reason, Targas were then cheaper than coupes and cabs, although that has apparently since changed,

Generally here they go between £30k upwards ($44)k.
Some Targas are now well into £40k. But mileage has to be under 100k and good service history.

Agreed. Bob's car looks great. I really like the Targa's on the D90's with the flag mirrors. All the lines and forms work well together.

If anyone wants to document their Targas specs I started this thread a few years ago.
