I love my 987S and it is extremely refined, but it doesn't seem to have the heft and feel of the 968. I'm talking about steering wheel, clutch, shifter.
The values on very nice 968s do seem to be holding up rather well although I have not run an calc's on them.

They did not sell many 968s, only built them for 4 yrs and so they are a bit rare.

The Coupes are actually more rare than the Cabs and the Turbo S models are even rarer.

I am looking to find a 968 coupe with a trashed motor so that I can drop that LS1 or LS 2 motor in to it.

I think a 968 with 400 Plus HP is the deal for me.

Nicely balanced car too!
