Thinking of cashing in my 964 chips and going for a 968. Less precious, less valuable...

Anyone any experience/thoughts on the 944/968. I am sure some of you have been down this road

TIA

Keep the 964.... If its a nice one you have you'll regret selling it.

Hello. I am the man that, every time this question comes up, suggests the best option is a 924S or early round-clock 944. Everyone always ignores me, but that does not make me less right. Later forty-fours and sixty-eights have dull steering and gruff engines (yes, even the 968CS).

That said, I agree with the Irishman.

But they do have a vastly improved driving position, unlike the '24's wheel-between-your-knees effort.

the Irishman.

We'll let that slide this time Sam

Oh and a nice 924S is a fun car but not a patch on a 964

A poor driving position is the hallmark of every great Porsche.

less valuable...

Looking at the 4star classics post, maybe not that much,

I think you'd be crazy. Just force yourself to drive the 964 more, they may well still go up so you are getting free fun.

have owned 2x 968's

bulletproof and surprisingly quick

CS are going up nicely in value

only thing to watch is the cam chain and guide

I was looking at a 944 turbo- comments/thoughts welcomed..............

[gridgway]

I drove one a lot when they were new in the 90s and really enjoyed it. Not sure how it would feel now though.

I owned 6 944's including an S,S2 and a turbo back in the early 90's and they were a very capable car with a bit of a dull engine.

I would still consider them to be a great first Porsche but they are unlikely to captivate an existing owner.

This is my first 944.

They're good cars, but you can't replace a 911 with any of them.

[hot66]

Years ago I went through the process of buying a 968CS ... Test drove quite a few but in all cases just couldn't pull the trigger ...... Ultimately they all felt soul less compared to a 911, there was just no emotional pull.

Personally I would look at e46 m3's if going down the 944 route. It's amazing how much difference a nice engine can make

You could buy a Cayman S for the price of a good 968
