wooow..... someone offers the seller $7,000 for it. That's TOO MUCH . Imagine the $7000 plus follow up maintenance and replacement. The bill will easily go beyond $11,000. With this amount it's possible to get a lower-mileage 968 with maintenance history.

 

It depends. If the buyer can do the work him/herself the parts cost are actually not that bad. Then the price wouldn't be that terrible. Still, i agree that $7K is too much.

 

The seller said the one who offered $7000 walked away without further response.
But he is still thinking his high-mileage car worths that much since the false offer.

I think RL911's opinion is very realistic and it'd be $3K.

 

high mileage for a 968 virtually doesn't exist. my 157 k of highway miles is less than 80 k of driving in a town like Norfolk/Va Beach, Va and their trillion stop lights... high mileage for my car will be when it reaches about 320 k. i'm serious. you can buy a 968 that's had nothing done the past 20 years, and still it won't kill you bringing everything up do date.... there's a Rennlister who lives in the Bay area where there's tons of hills and traffic. his motor was spent by about 250 k.... so every car is a special case. there's a lot of variables. some people like to compare 968s to to 944s (a car that will kill you on repairs and nagging gremlins)... but, whatever you do, never compare the two cars... save for the timing belts, and other superficial bull****, they're night and day.
