I just got a email from Len Hoffman today. He is focused on producing new Heads, not rebuilding used ones anymore (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I appreciate it too, and no disrespect was expressed or intended. It is what it is, but $2500 just for heads will put a kink in a lot of budgets. That's three times the price of a rebuild from just a few years ago. Which means that other less attractive alternatives are going to be considered, and one will be the crusher. Who knows, with the thinning of the herd maybe those predictions of 356 style price appreciation will actually come to pass.

Who knows, with the thinning of the herd maybe those predictions of 356 style price appreciation will actually come to pass. I don't know... If increasing repair costs caused cars to appreciate in value, wouldn't used boxters be appreciating. I don't buy the 914 (914-6 not included) being the next 356. If it was then someone would be going around buying the hundreds of teeners for sale ~$1-2K. Even nice 914's don't sell for a whole lot more than when I bought mine 26 years ago. I don't care what mine is worth because it was my first car and I will never sell it. I talked to Jake last Wed and I'm just about to pull the trigger. I'm sold on the motor, I just want to make sure I have the money to set aside and not miss/need it later. Even after new parts, labor, paint, motor, ect, ect it will still cost les than a Prius. |
