I think this is the same car that was for sale in NJ at one point. Guy was asking $28k at the time. Not sure how it could go up so much in value, if in fact it is the same car.
Regards.

Raj, I think the NJ car had more miles on it, and that was almost a decade ago. It was in Warren, NJ, and was sold new in CT.

Yes, it's worth it! I have set the minimum price for any 968 to be $35K from now on. With luck, my car will become part of my retirement portfolio. :-)

Please feel free to pass along this revised valuation for these cars. We need some De Beers style marking/PR out there...

DeBeers huh? so one of us should just start buying these up and hoarding them in some warehouse... and then make sure that anybody's who's anybody needs a 968. Then release them only a few at a time as they're "found"!

I like it!

Absolutely. I happen to have some inside info on a very rare Amazon Green Tip coupe that was found in a North Carolina barn; (or my garage).
Ralph Lauren and Jay Leno are rumored to be in a bidding war at this very minute. Pass it on...
