Drove it yesterday. '93 with sport seats and added LSD. Pinion bearing done, all belts and seals done. I've talked to his mechanic (Memphis Motor Werks) who says it is a very well maintained, and tight example. The seller is the second owner, and has had it since '97. He's selling because he just got an '02 C4. He's asking 13.5k, on a 70-80k mile car (has a documented odometer issue).
The good: I was surprised at the difference in the manual and tip cars. I drove
a tip a couple of months ago, and although it was a ratty example,
I was still impressed by the handling, solidity, and overall feel of
968. This car was a different animal. The owner rode with me, and
we drove some in town and then got onto the x-way. WOW...
He told me to get on it, so I did. I've never been in a 4 cyl that pulls
like that, and very few sixes. I don't know if it was just me, or what,
but any reservations/hesitations of 968 ownership went away with
the shifts through that sweet tranny. I'm really hooked now.
The problem: The color combo of black/gray (cosmetically 7/10 in & out). I've
had too many blk cars, got to have a different color.
I will continue to hang out on this forum, and plan on posting my desire for a
specific car here as well as the other forums in 1-2 months. Just wanted to offer
the impressions of a newby.
