Hello all! I'm joining here because I'm hoping that in the next few years I'll be able to get a 968. My first car was a beater 944, and I've recently been learning more about the 968. It's looking like the 968 is similarly priced to the 944s and gives better performance, so I'm looking at picking one up and improving on my high school experience. Temporarily living in Blythe, CA, and hopefully moving to the Phoenix area in the next couple years. I'm excited to learn from y'all and get started on the 968 journey.

+1 . In equivalent condition , the 968 is typically priced 50% higher than a 944, and anywhere between 20% -20 % higher than a 944S2 or a 951 ( 944 Turbo ). Again, in equivalent condition, mileage, etc. If comparing a concours condition 944 to a fair condition 968, yes the prices can be comparable.


There is no comparison between a 968 and a 944 in any other respect ; I’ve owned 944s for about 18 years and 968s for over 16 years now - the 968 is a far superior car, with not just more HP, but massive torque vs the 944. The only advantage the 944 does have however is that ( in my experience ..) it handles just a little bit better in turns, perhaps because it has less weight while the same 50-50 platform .


Good luck with the search , you’ll never regret purchasing a 968 .
