slimming from 2 P cars to 1 ..opinion?
i have been thinking about slimming from 2 pcars to 1. i would sell the 79 turbo great shape 40 k miles and the 88 cab 98k miles great shape for something unique. i'm thinking about this car. i don't like the polished or maybe they are chromed wheels but that can be taken care of. the mileage is low but i only put about 400 miles each on the 79 and 88 each year. any thoughts on doing this and toughts on the car i am looking at.

I would have a very hard time trading in your '79 930 #632 for that car. A Targa Turbo is a little over-the-top (and I like Targas). I would keep your two cars vs. that car.

Charles..........
Always loved that turbo you acquired, and now that I am hearing of the low mileage on it whats to gain by getting another turbo despite a few extra features and for big bucks! You have a great classic in the turbo you have now. I would opt to sell one (Convertible) and put 800 miles a year on the turbo and still come out okay in the long run. And, its rare to see you driving around the hood these days. Bob 73.5T |

it would be hard for me to sell the 930 and actaully the cab. the 930 is so fun to crank up on 400 and my wife loves the cab. the only reasoin i am considering this is:
1.) free up garage sapce. 2.) free up some more time to do other stuff as i would have less maintence on fewer cars. over the past 3 years i have had the turbo, i have had many unsolicted inquireos to buy it,and actaully 3 local Ferraris guys off FChat. yea I dont even see YOU driving your 73 Bob at all in hood eiher, but i know you drive it alot. seeing it is great weather today i should take it for a quick drive.

Hey Charles, tough choices, but follow your real desires on this one. Sounds like the turbo might be the keeper (for now that is).
Every friday I take the old gal out for the day running a nice road course with as many twisties as I can find (Spauling into Dunwoody is one of them) then up 400 to Lake Lanier (my sailboat is up there). Its almost been routine, weather permitting. Otherwise I try to get out other times, as I enjoy driving as often as I can. Been up to the car show lately? Looks more like a hotrod show these days.

I'm also a targa guy and am also not seeing the value here. I personally would have a really hard time letting a 930 coupe go. If it was me and one has to go it would be the cab that got sold.
A sailboat sounds nice. I'd take the money from the cab and buy a sailboat. And drive the 930. |

I got it Charles.......
Matt has good advice. Keep the 930, sell the Carrera and buy my sailboat!! I will toss in the sailing lessons. Or better yet, I'll race ya up 400 to Lanier (fat chance a 73.5T will hold up against the turbo) and we'll get you out on the water. I'd keep that turbo just for that very unique color. _/)

Agreed, keep the Turbo, sell the Cab.
The Turbo Targa is a much lesser car most people would say. |

Back in 1989 my boss had a triple black 930 cabriolet. If you are a cab guy that is the ultimate car. The targa seems like settling, that is if cabs are your thing.
If you want turbo and topless that would be the car to look for. But I think you'll be relegated to places like Sloan and need to spend 6 figures to get a nice one. |

Charles,
Looks like you got your answer. The odometer rollback would be enough for anyone! Kudos to the Pelicanhead community for investigating this. Best to blow that bubble now then later. You have a beautiful low mileage turbo (please post a photo) in a great color. That's probably a bigger kick to drive over the cab, although that's a beauty as well. See ya on the road. Bob |

It says possible roll back.... just to be clear I find that many more times than not the "possible" roll back is a clerk that fat fingered something or is off by a couple hundred miles because someone took a guess when they registered, stuff like that.
After further review I dont think the miles are original and I am guessing the Speedo was swapped out or reset, just my opinion looking at the way the carfax sets up. It had a couple of reports with over 40k miles on it back in the 1990's then a fresh clock in 7/2000. That particular dealer looks as if they pick up quite a few cars with these sorts of issues.
