could be imperial gallons too.  an imperial gallon is only about 83% of a US gallon, and if they were trying to do a backwards conversion, they may get that wrong

BOY this post is right up my alley! I have my mint coupe, 37,000 miles always maintained absolute stock for sale and just had a offer of $24,000. Should I take it or hold on? I am seeing 968's with much higher mileage and not Concours asking mid thirties and up?? . Thanks for any opinions, reason for sale I have another 968 that needs a lot of work.

hang on to it for a while and watch the prices, they are still going up here

Hold on. Quality and scarcity will eventually increase the price. I just saw one in Excellence sold for $29000 although it was a cab. Just a few years ago these prices didn't exist.

Absolutely hold on....sub 50,000 miles, unmolested cars are going to see the largest price increase...even better if your car is a survivor (no paint work or restoration of any kind).

 

Just look at any other collectible car.

Thanks so much for insight guys I think I should hold on for another year or so.

lol - i just started a thread about that

I had a '91 300ZX (#2 on the list).  It was a great car that I sold at over 220K miles.  Interesting to see the Ferrari Mondial (#6) finally getting some love!

Anybody know if that baby blue was a stock color?

[ds968]

only car I question on that list is the Toyota 4runner -   seriously ?!     they made millions of those..

Corrado VR6 - I love that car. I hope to own one once. Over here they had 190 hp and a 0-100 time of less than 7 seconds.

Yup, that VW is one great car !   Would have liked to own one as well.    You "euro" guys get all the fun cars we can't have here ; for example another of my favorites, the Ford Sierra Cosworth RS.  My friend in England had one of them about 20 years ago, and as if it wasn't good enough in stock form ( I thought it was just fine..) he had a tuner company slap a twin turbo on it.  That 2.9 L engine IIRC,  produced about 300 HP after the turbo fit.  All I know I that know is that we drove from London to Kent in about 4 minutes .     Ok, it just felt like 4 minutes,but man what a blast !

About 20.000 of them were sold in the States, don't know how many are VR6's though. Too bad the US version was a 2.8 instead of a 2.9 with 'only' 174 ponies. I bet California had something to do with that.

And to stay on topic: it was only made to order and this version costed, when new, about € 34.000. Pricey!
