Iborroel, wait a few months and the market will open up with east coast as being a potential market. Right now its pretty tough out there so there is no point. Wait atleast until april when the frenzy begins and make sure you sell it before sep or else you will be in the same boat.
I think you should be able to get close to $20-22k for the car considering all the options. Another choice you can give the buyer is to buy it with all the upgrades or buy it for less without them. Your rims will sell for $1800-2200 all day long. You can use that as a price adjuster. You have some very nice options which the right buyer should appreciate.
Usually the lsd option itself should drive the price up atleast $500-750, full power seats another $500, your shocks and swaybars worth atleast $2000. B&B is good for $500 atleast. So all in all I am looking at a good $5000-6000 in really nice upgrades and options which makes it an excellent buy at $20-22k. So in essence all they are paying is $15-17K for a low mileage 1994 coupe which is a very very good price.
Good luck.

Nice car- I agree w/much of what Raj said- except the wheels, while they are VERY nice looking, being replicas, they probably wouldn't bring quite that much $- that's also a really small rear tire- much smaller RD than stock & stock is actually small- the rears of all 944s need MORE RD to fill out those ugly rear fenders- the most unnatractive part on our cars IMO- that's a simple fix though, since you DO already have 18's. ALSO, the fact that you have the nicer susp & sways, etc- yes, that's a bargaining point, but, that stuff usually doesn't help you much when selling- you're often better off putting stock stuff back & selling it seperately. Of course, susp & wheels DO seem to carry more of their value than most engine upgrades. Anyway, it's a beautiful car- are those seats Sport seats? You said full power- which ones- how many ways? Heated? Also, the M490 setereo set-up- do you have the 3" midrange speakers up at the FRONT of the door, OR, are both of the main front speakers underneath the armrest? I know they switched somewhere in there... just curious...

Robby: No they are not sport speats. They are the late model 94 seats. They seem to look like 993 seats to me but with cloth inserts. They are 8 way power seats but are not heated. I have the 3" midrange up front with the other main speakers under the armrest.

That sounds really cool- you mention lumbar- how do you adjust that? Cloth might not sell as easily, but, I would use it as a selling point, as I personally like it better- not as slippery & temperatures don't affect it as badly- I think they hold up a little better too- do your's have the Porsche script? My Turbo S ones are identical, only older style- Your stereo set-up, w/the 3" at front of the door, is the latest one too- it really has the exact same speakers as the early M490, from what I understand, BUT, seperating them that way was much better for imaging- I wish Porsche had designed the doors a tiny bit differently- they obviously weren't thinking about stereos- just 1" of extra thickness on the armrest, OR, up front of the door panel would allow for most 6.5's to be installed- they STILL could have mounted the 5.25 from Turbo S/968 into the front of the door (where the original 4x6 of earlier cars & YOUR 3" is). At any rate, your set-up is the best of the best, which is really very good for factory... Do you have any interior pics? It sounds like a great car- I would love to get one w/really low miles- anything under ~50K...

Nice car, nice options, nice upgrades, low miles, rare options (lumbar and cloth?? never saw that before). Get ready for a lot of lowball offers, but you shouldn't give that away for below the mid low twenties.

Reminds me of when you were in high school and you met a really hot girl and then found out she had been dumped by her last boyfriend after only a few dates.
Makes you wonder.
Either she wouldn't put out, she was a bad lay, or she just talked too darn much !
The car may be a gem for all I know, but the revelation that he wants to get rid of it "just because" after only 3 months makes me suspicious.
No offense meant to the owner.
I just have trouble identifying with the desire to get rid of a Porsche 968 after 3 months...I would imagine most of the enthusiasts on this forum are the same.
Are you unhappy with the car ?
Have your eye on a hotter chick who puts out more ?

I thought full power seats are 12 way adjustable. Like mine.
BTW. As here low mileage cars are rather rare, soon you'll see that us from this side of the big water will be in the US market too due to the cheap dollar.
