I don't doubt you. Everyone keeps saying this is the next "collector" Porsche but most of the prices I'm seeing are still in mid teens. The ones in the 20's have been for sale for months and months and not moving. My car was advertised for 33000 dollars, near perfect (aesthetically) 68000 miles and I ended up paying 21000 for it. Based on what I've seen sometimes I feel like I paid too much. Hopefully that will change.

Count me as a skeptical victim.

If your car needs nothing (mechanical or otherwise), you got a good price I think!

About 3 years ago I got mine for 10k, 135k on the clock, and have spent about 6-7k fixing mechanical things. As others have noted, mechanical work can get expensive if you have to pay someone.

I bought mine for DE, did a few DE weekends the first year but life keeps me busy and I can't find the time. Now I am just turning the car into a custom ride, that I visually like, that will not be stock or original

I am happy with that and I would not worry about what you paid. I know we are all from different walks of life, but I think these cars are great for having fun and I don't see them depreciating much more.

In fact all the cars selling for the 6k or so manage to get chopped it seems, so even less cars on the road make it more fun for us!

Make sure you get agreed insurance, as these cars still value for under 10k with insurance.

$21k is a smoking deal for a fully sorted car with such low miles. You did very well. Right now all cars are sitting. Its the middle of winter and it would be a good 3-4 months before people start itching for sports cars. Prices will shoot up anywhere from 10-20% as the weather gets better.

One can already see a pattern where a lot of people looking for a sub $30k Porsche don't have 911's as an option anymore. Their next best option is a 968. 964's have caught fire and have a LOT in common with a 968, especially the suspension. 964's are being taunted as the last of the pure sports cars. Well guess what, a 968 is a superior sports car all day long. Its just a matter of time before 968's start getting their due.

Please send that message to Seinfeld, Canepa, Arolla and the others.

I bought a rather well sorted 1992 for $17K with 94K on the clock and have still added $5k more to bring it to my standards.....Whenever I question my purchase I remind myself that for $22K I can't think of too many sports cars that handle like the 968, with great reliability, for equal money. The car puts a smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel. If it appreciates that will be nice but the fun / dollar quotient does it for me.

I think that Boxters are helping keep the 968 prices down. When you can't afford the 911 the 986 is there in spades at cheap prices.

I don't know. Boxsters are way too common. I'm finding a definite upturn in 968 prices and one of the main reasons is their uniqueness and rarity.

Paul Waterloo

I've said it before....the 996 is still very inexpensive....and man does it perform! Not saying that its a replacement for the 968.....but it is an incredible car. I love my 99!

I like this shade of yellow. Does anyone know what it's called?

In't that speed yellow? If so, there is one for sale on ebay.
Also, there is one two posts above you.

Speed Yellow? Otherwise not a standard color. But it almost looks like Pastel Yellow from the 996 era.

Yup, Speed Yellow.




What I'm curious about is whether the listing photo is of the actual item. Is there a SY 968 being parted out somewhere?

Part of the downside of rarity is the availability of parts and mechanics that know how to properly diagnose and repair them. Something that is starting to concern me is my favorite mechanic is nearing retirement age.
