money on a cheap 968.
Its not that different, the tensioner is more expensive if it goes, as is the ISV but theres a lot of other similarity there.

I'd buy a cheap 968 just as i would buy a cheap S (i did actually). The 68 is an evolution of what the S started in the 16v motor and the 68 is an evolution of the S2 in the rest of the way.

If the car looks good have fun! watchout for that pinion bearing, the chain tensioner and rod bearings.
