No worries, the Porsche 968 is a very nich market sports car and cabriolet only model. It wont have any real affect on the SC series market or over shadow it.

The SC's of 92-00' have a very reputable history of being low maintenence/cost per luxery and ammenities. Mine has 165K miles and runs like its 50K miles, the Lexus dealership I have it serviced at even said that mine runs astonishingly well compared to some other models for the milage.

I really let the applause go to the motor and transmissions. The 2jz has a reputation nonetheless and the Toyota manual transmissions have always been very strong and reliable. The interior bits have always been of high quality and last years without blemish.

Thats the reason I bought the car. I had looked for 2 years to find the exact color combo with the options I wanted. There are always going to be "junkers" since alot people just neglect their cars, but in due just, the car itself is a marvel of engineering quality of days gone by.

I bet it's because ebay makes a lot of money from people selling/buying these cars and parts for them. They want to keep the $ rolling!

I can't hate, I bought mine from ebay ; )

i guess a good thing about the exposure would be more aftermarket stuff would be made and therefore giving us more at a lower price.

oh yes..true..that would be good because we could get more aftermarket stuff..esp at a cheaper price..but then that could also lead to super riced out sc's...which wouldnt be so good

The reversal of this is that people who own one can demand a MUCH higher price when they sell. *cough*overpriced supra*cough*
