help me pick between two 968s and determine value
following up from my first thread here, im looking at 2 968s both in the Sarasota/St. Pete Fla. area - here are the details, help me pick and price them accordingly
1) 1993 968 Coupe (midnight blue/cashmere) 117,000 miles VIN WPOAA2965PS820237
has the following from the owner
owned this car since 2000. It has always been maintained by myself and Lowe's Automotive in Sarasota. I bought it when I worked at Suncoast Porsche and almost always used OE parts.
Body
Midnight blue with Cashmere Beige full leather interior. front seats need covered or Sparco replacement
OE Optional upgraded audio system with Clarion CD unit
Repainted by local Ford dealer 2 years ago & is always garaged
A/C is cold & never has been repaired.
Chassis
928 S4 front Brakes with stainless braided lines
17 inch Cup II wheels 7.5 front & 9 rear with proper offset. Very hard to find offset.
Like new Bridgestone RE-11 tires, 225/45/17 & 255/40/17
Ground control Koni racing coil over set (1 year old)
M030 sway bars front & rear (OE performance)
Lower suspension tie bar
Upper strut bar
corner balanced by German Specialties in Clearwater
Engine
RS Barn stage 1 chip
Air intake modification with K&n filter
Recent OE new, not rebuilt ($600) water pump and all belts
Recent cam chain and tensioner pads
short shift kit and momo shift ****
also from the owner answering some questions --
Always syn oil. Red line in diff. Super blue fluid. Timing belt done with water pump.
The pinion gear can be an issue. I have not had it replaced, nor is it noisey. Years ago spoke to Porsche trans experts to discuss this. The pinion brg is under a very high preload due to the trans construction. As the trans warms the load on the bearing decreases and lessens stress on the brg. I am a big sissy and always drive my cars very easy until they are properly warmed.
I worked with Jay at ground control and he would remember me if asked. I was a pain in the ***. When I first put it together is was unhappy. The car has a special eccentric that allows the car to be lowered properly to use the coils on the rear with torsion bars. The front springs were too short. We tried another set that were designed by Jay. They are 250-320 progressive rate the struts are made by GC and are 1" shorter custom valved Koni sport. The rear rate is 150 lb plus stock torsion rate. this set up has 2000 miles and rides great. The corner balance and align was done in Tampa by German Specialties.

2) car 2 is also a 93 coupe w/ 71,000 miles listed for sale on Pelican Parts

i am leaning toward car 1 - i just get a better vibe on it (plus the asking price is less)
