When you click on links to various merchants on this site and make a purchase, this can result in this site earning a commission. Affiliate programs and affiliations include, but are not limited to, the eBay Partner Network.
As for disclosing the actual sale price, I leave that to the new owners to do. I respect their privacy. All I can tell you for sure is the public asking price and in the case of my sale, that we took close to ask.
You've flirted around the "close to asking" so much I can't imagine there's much privacy left at this point. IMHO

I don't think you can compare a 944 turbo to a 968. I owned one. Great car but not a 968 and there are far too many and little variation in them. but that is my opinion. Still, be sure to post the 944 turbos that are trading with these numbers. Maybe i missed them?
I disagree. I have owned many of them and is one better than another? Not in my opinion, they are just different animals. There is plenty of variation, but since they built a lot more of them you have to sort through more of them to find the gems. Outside of the 3 cars you brought attention to in this thread, I would agree as previously stated that clean 951's are getting just as much or more than many 968's.

Well, we'll have to agree to disagree. There is a reason they refer to the 968 as the "final evolution" of the 4 cylinder transaxle Porsche. The company had addressed a number of the reliability issues seen on the earlier models. On top of that, I think the looks of the 968 are much improved over the 944s. I've had more then one case of being asked if my car was a new Porsche model.
Back to the point of my thread, based on these recent true sales and my experience with the Wimbledon cab sale I feel stronger then ever that the 968 continues to move up market ahead of many other Porsche models. You can choose to disagree with me but for those of us that are true fans of the model I wanted to share that observation.

I beg to differ, let's not start defining who are true fans of the model. I just don't believe in overhyping.

Obviously, but thanks for your thoughts on my thread and your opinion on my "overhyping". Still, my highlighted sales are actual true sales so for those that are following along at home, good news for the rest of us.

You're using outliers as representing an entire market.
Sorry. On one hand I want the price low so I can buy. On the other I want them to be ascending as I believe they will soon. They are past the depreciation phase by several years and with the initial limited production and now attrition by accidents (glad to see you saved the white coupe recently) or disasters I'm thinking of selling my boxster or my '75 R90S to make room for a second 968.

Reason: typo
I fully agree the general 968 market has gotten better in recent years but the truth of the matter is the vast majority of 968's are still 15k cars +/-.
