968 Prices

[Guest]

Kevin,

Will catch up with you and your new 993 at knockhill on Wednesday.

John,

I saw you (and your car) whilst out for a drive in Fife this afternoon (in the laguan at the time). Did not wave as was not sure it was you until too late - a bit daft with hindsight []

Are you sure it was me? I mean bright blue 964s with huge bi-plane tails are dead common ... not ! [][][]

Yup, guilty as charged m'lud ... I was out this afternoon.

See you at Knocky on Wed perhaps.

Cheers

Not sure if you are still looking but have you seen this yellow CS at eporsh. Prices high at £14495.00 but its low mileage for the age

Charles,

Have you seen this one ? It is yellow (including the dials), its a CS, its close (42 miles) but not cheap:

The Yellow LHD one with 68K seems very good value and looks the same car that 911Virgin had a year or so ago.

Might be worth giving Henry a call then....

Must admit I am spoilt for choice. Then there is the service bills I have seen. Truely terrifying for a 964 owner!

It does make me worry when I see £1800 bills for a service. I though you could run a 928 GTS for that sort of annual service costs.

I got a bit lost with this thread when Chris and John hijacked it ;O) I'll speak to you both at KH!

I have sourced a car in Germany with very low mileage and all the toys including factory fitted roll cage. Waiting to hear if my offer is accepted. If not there are 2 in Glasgow one black and one yellow both have excellent SH. Both RHD too.

Now that black 928GTS looked cool.................

But with petrol at over £1 a litre then maybe not!!!

£1800 bill for a service? On a 968? Was it done by the Weissach motorsport crew?

The biggest bill I ever had for my 968 was £1200 and that included a very thorough service, brake pads all round, front disks, belts, chains etc. etc. blah-de-blah the full monty, right down to the oil pressure gauge getting calibrated (thats how sorted my car is, for any potential purchasers out there![] Sorry, shameless plug[]).

£1800 is very untypical.

" My last service was carried out at Glenvargill Glasgow. £1800.00 ouch. They know the car, before that it was Carrs in London I think. Glenvargill had the last service checked and the one before that to make sure all work had been carried out"

I think it included new front calipers. Plate lift I guess. Obviously LRU for OPCs. Doesn't say much for Carrs I guess.

 

[Guest]

Yep, the calipers will be a large chunk of that and it is not necessary to get new ones if it was just plate lift, although I wouldn't be suprised if OPC's would not want to have anything to do with refurbishing them - after all they are money makers not engineers!
