I have never had any desire for a 968. And definitely not one with a sunroof. And most certainly not one with a sunroof with those miles at that price.

I've always wanted to have a 944 Turbo (and some of the non-turbo 944s are also appealing in some ways at times) and there's something I like about some 928 models.

But I have never, ever thought, "I'd like to have a 968."

:dunno:

Ah! I think I might have run across one of those, too. ;)

Isn't the 968 basically just a facelifted 944 with 993 style headlights?

This may turn into the crazy Porsche thread. But, man, dealer wants $1.2 million for this car but can't be bothered to take any actual photos of it?

Amazing. Maybe at that price level cars become more like trading commodities; the traders dont actually see the barrels of oil. gold bars or pork bellies. I wouldn't be surprised if it's bought by a speculator who never takes physical possession only to sell it off to someone else.

You mean, "Didn't they take the 944, punch it in the face with a baseball bat, put some googley eyes on it to distract from the damage, rub out all the character of the rear so it looks like a used bar of soap, add 24 to the model name (as in 24 of 924 add to 944) to make it a 968?

Yeah, something like that to be overly kind.

LOL. I guess i've never been a big 944 fan, so i'm kinda "meh" about both versions. The 968 looks about what i'd expect for a "facelift" version though.
