Hello.  I am seriously considering buying a 968 and want to learn more from Forum members about experiences, knowledge and issues.  I am retiring this coming Summer and am ready to invest and want to make a well informed purchase.  I used to own a 1973 BMW 2002 and want to upgrade to a more-modern, more-powerful, faster, more-nimble 2-door that I can work on and enjoy.

Welcome. These are nice cars, just take your time and find a well-maintained one. Jay's is an exceptionally well-prepared example and would show you what you can achieve..

Welcome.  The 968 is a great car.  The best of the 924/944/968 cars, and I have had a few...  I'm not too far from Philly and would be happy to show you mine as well.  I have a few mods for handling and such.  My car has the RS Barn stage II chip with header, some porting on the head, 951 M030 suspension, all the Design 1 braces, and the Chassis Brace as well...  It's not incredibly fast, but it is a fantastic car to DRIVE.

Are you considering a Cab or a Coupe, and are you looking for a fully-sorted car, a fixer-upper or something in between?

Welcome. Enjoy your search. If and when you find something have Max at Provost, in Bordentown, do a PPI.

To hijack the thread, does anyone have the part number on the stock chip.  Sorting through a few here and can't tell which one it is.
