Very nice. I owned a twin to it a few years back. What makes this car truly special is that it is a true 1995 968. All the North American 968 cabs are reVINed 94s. This is true of most of the 95 coupes, but the last 60 coupes were truly manufactured in the 1995 model year.

@Jeff have you sen your former twin recently? It looks good next to Slate Grey.

Very nice, especially for the mileage. Like the black carpet with tan seats

Good catch, and those are not original. Notice the tan carpet on the door panels. A true deviated carpet car would have matching carpet on the door panels. I would guess the originals got too dirty and were dyed.

Adam, looks good!

The car only went for $15k which I thought was a little low. I know the mileage was higher but it was well cared for, had great options, it was rare from a production standpoint, and looked great. I would have thought $18k.

Yeah I was surprised at the low price as well. But, it is certainly longer in the tooth though well maintained. The perceived risk of a 130k car vs 60k mile car is obviously a good bit higher.

Could also do with the fact that a 60k car can be considered investment grade while a 130k car is a driver. Over time, mileage becomes moot. People don't think twice about getting a 130k mile e30 M3. They still go for serious $$.
It's just a matter of time.
