Ah, but would you actually use it? With such low mileage it would be a shame to put much more on.....

[HAB]

There's the rub:use it as a daily driver and the value drops like a stone, don't use it...what's the point in having it?

[paulburrell]

No M030 so not really good as a trackday tool.

Ah, but the same argument could be applied to a new car. But with a low mileage older one, you're getting a rare chance to get a model in good condition that you can't get new.

They're still handy, believe me. You'll find that Calum Lockie's 968 is non-Mo30 (albeit with a few choice tweaks like ARBs). The brakes are the biggest problem; never had that much confidence in the standard ones on track, but maybe I was using them too much

I’m hoping to drop in and have a look at this car next week, not with a view to buying just to have a look at the harness bar and belts set up. I just bought a 94M yellow CS for £12995 with 76k on the clock from Eporsch so it’ll be an interesting comparison between the two cars.

[willdew]

That cars been for sale for a while now.

I think it's overpriced at that. Still, I'm sure it's a very nice car, so if someone's looking for one in top nick with the money to spend they'll probably not find better.

True to a certain extent,But theres a good selection of 968CS with much higher mileage,for a lot less,that wont depreciate like this one,once you start racking up the miles.

Also, extremely low mileage(lack of use) older cars is'nt alaways necessarily a good thing...

[gunner]

anyone driven one of these?what are they like?how dated?

[clubsport]

If you drive a 993TT, it won't feel dated at all...in terms of handling balance it may well be a revelation...if a little slow.............yes I did own one in the past

[shoestring7]

A few weeks ago I tried a 964RS. Then I jumped into my 968CS for the drive home. I couldn't help noticing how vintage the 964 felt by comparison...

Hi All

Though you'd like to know I bought this car and it is absolutely stupendous.

I agree it was top money (although I did't give anything like the asking price)but it is by far the best 968 I have ever seen. I had a couple of 944 Turbos a few years ago and always wanted a CS for my collection and have spent 7 years looking - I wanted the best car and without doubt this is it.

I didn't want it for the track, just its road capabilities so M030 was not an issue, and I don't ever plan to sell it as its that good.

It also got best in class for the Northants Regional Concours yesterday so I am well chuffed.

I got Ray to take out the harnesses as I thought they were horrible, so I'm sure he'll sell them if anyone wants them.

[dub2dub]

I know northway quite well, they are just down the road from me.

Get a big thumbs up from me

Robin
It does help to be in the trade even if buying privately and Ray will always do a deal within reason, glad you are enjoying the car.

[willdew]

Sounds brilliant. I'm sure it's a cracking car and in top condition.
