I'm sure it's a lovely car but there's no market for them - at that price.

Yellow 968 cabriolet? Hmmm, not spec of the year, really. Now if it was a speed yellow 968CS with M030, it would fetch the 17.5k requested any day of the week.

I'd say it was nearer 11-12k, despite the fabulously low miles and condition. Few want 968 cabs and even fewer want yellow ones!

Thanks for the input.
I was kind of thinking that myself, as it is in to boxster territory, and a hell of a premium for the extra seats.

Even that's optimistic IMO.

Boxster any day of the week for that money.....only drove a 968 cab once and couldn't believe it rattled about as much as my old Morgan

cars like this (i.e ones that seem to have spent their lives hermetically sealed) are always priced optimistically and individually, simply for rarity value. if you were a concours enthusiast this would be perfect, and worth it. as a daily drive it will shed value as quick as you put miles on it. PDJ cars have a similar condition/miles 968 cab on sale for £17995, but that is RHD, and its been sat on their website for 4-6 months, which says it all really.

this car may well be worth its asking price to someone, but it's pitching to a very niche market and is probably not for you. horses for courses. When i was looking I would have been sorely tempted even at that price but then I was absolutely specific about wanting a 968 cab, the choice is pretty limited, i keep cars for a long time so depreciation is less of an issue and i use it for business so I write off depreciation agains tax.

edited to add that it does have aircon which is almost unheard of on a UK spec 968 cab but was more common on continental models. this may be important to some though personally i take the roof down if i'm too hot!
