[Brettwant968]

Hello Everyone,

 

My name is  Brett and I live near Birmingham, Alabama....though a Duck fan.  Ok....football has not quite started.  Anyway, I much rather like cars.  I do not own a 968, (Had a 76 911SC and a 87 Carrera 10 years ago...life happened), however I am moving the 968 direction and getting excited.   Hopefully within the next 6-9 months I will find the right one. 

 

I currently drive a 2002 530i and will keep it as my daily, however I am quite taken with the 968 and this is one my first stops to try and learn what I need to know before I pull the trigger. 

 

If I may, can I start with 2 questions?

 

1. How noisy are the rag tops?

2  What is the best year to get as I am leaning 1995?

ok....3. What are the must have options?

 

 

I look forward to speaking with some of you and picking your brains.

 

Thank you all in advance for all of your future comments.....at least I hope I get some future comment....ummmm....good/informational and such....

 

Brett

Welcome!  All the years are pretty much the same with the exception of cosmetic interior differences.  Enjoy the hunt and the drive...

Not entirely - 92 has a bunch of things including a few "mechanical" differences vs the rest ..( run a search for that, I think there are a few threads dealing with those issues... ) but as for the rest of the years , yes mostly cosmetic . The biggest interior difference is the seats ; as I understand it, cars up to 94.5 have 944 style seats and after late 94 they have 993 style seats .


To return to the thread topic - welcome and good luck finding your ideal 968 .

Welcome,

 

As Flash mentioned, there are plenty of Technical Sections for you to post questions, however, you should know that there is no such thing as a true 1995 968 Cabriolet. They were all produced in 1994 and re-badged as 1995's (Code 718). There are some differences between early 94's and late 94's.

 

Good luck with your search,

 

Jay
