968CS - Info Required

[dj kam]

Hi People,

Need some help I'm considering buying my first Porsche and current thinking is a 968CS as I will only be using it at the weekends. Problem is I can't find any detailed info on specs. I've talked to a few people selling cars and keep getting different info. Can anyone help answer the questions noted below and also point me in the right direction about what to look for when buying.

What is the Standard Spec?
What was on the options list?
What was included in the M030 option and was it fitted as standard on CS models?
What are the service intervals & costs(minor, major & timing belt)?
Any idea on running costs, looking at doing approx 3-5k miles a year.

Is it worth paying the extra for a 964RS (has to be RHD).

Cheers,

Kam

Iguana,

Well the answer to the Ferrari idea is very simple. "Insurance". I'm 25 and with a limited mileage policy of 3k a year I was still getting qoutes in the region of 4k. The reason for looking at the Ferrari was that is was very cheap which meant I probably wouldn't have lost any cash after a couple of years ownership.

Thats why I'm torn between 15k for a 968CS or 30k for a 964. Is the 964 really worth 15k more. Isurance is very reasonable on th 968, still got to get a quote on the 964.

Thanks for the info guys, it's looking like a 968cs, I think I'd kill myself in an RS.

What's the score with the M030 option, is it worth waiting for a car with this option. I'm in not in a hurry to buy as I have a company car.

Still awaiting any info on specs and options list info if anyone got anything.

Really appreciate the info guys, got the sort of detail I was after. I think my minds made up, 968cs with M030 as I will hopefully track it at some point. So if anyone got one for sale drop me a message.
