912 vs. 944 Turbo vs. 930? Your input sought?, Contemplating another option-away from -6; your thoughts? Options

[R8CERX]

So…I am contemplating the next purchase… not in a rush.. the right deal at the right time…. heck…I may even go for a 1974 GTV Alfa Romeo--a whole different story!

I love the following three models:

All 912 coupe models (Ideally, Red, Silver, light blue, or the weird mustard color)
The 1989 930 (turbo) (Ideally Silver, Red, black)
The 1989 944 Turbo (S) (Ideally Red, Silver, Yellow)

Of course, they are all in different price ranges… so my interest is to get one of the above for fun, daily/weekend driver/ semi restored (I dont want to work on the cars too much aside from regular maintenance or basic work) and I do believe the wife will want to drive it more than the -6.

As I know how critical this group is, I would love to hear the pros/cons on the above models.

I pretty much have my mind made up, but want to check with the peanut gallery to see if I am in the right path… (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

If you are aware of a car for sale within the above types, I welcome also the lead--PM me or email me.

The early '76-'79 930 market is reaching 6 digits now for top quality cars.
Even the grey market turbos are coming up as well.

Holy shit! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) That's amazing!

I'm sure the 50th Anniversary of the 911 and high exposure vintage modifying guys like Magnus Walker has drawn more attention and desirability to earlier 911s. I always wanted an early model. I guess I can pretty much forget about it now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Although... A guy I know just scored a near-mint 1970 911T (same engine in a 914-6), low miles and impeccable shape, no rust and only missing the front chrome bumper. He went to tune it up as a favor to his buddy's neighbor. Turns out it was her husband's, she never drove it or cared to and while he's tuning it up, she tells him she really just wants to get rid of it. Not thinking he'd be able to afford it, he asks out of curiosity how much she wants for it. "How's $9,700?" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) Too good to be true? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) Nope. Actually saw it again today. It was at my mechanic's shop. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Excellent condition, low miles, all original (except for racing seats), no rust, immaculate and complete interior, original Irish Green paint, even has an unused tool kit, 1970 911T - $9,700. Okay he actually gave her $10K to be fair. Jealous? You bet your ass. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)
