It think its a case of "you get what you pay for". It is not just inflation. It is about doing it right. Sure, you can fix whatever caused you to have to rebuild for under $1500, and slap it back together. That is what was done on my engine years back and it always ran like crap. I mean, the car had zero power when it was cold. What the reason was, I still don't know. But I listened to people who I was at the mercy of, back when I was in school, and didn't have time to do my engine homework. I am willing to pay money now, for a better motor. I am looking at both a 911 T 6 cyl, and a peppy TIV. Type 4 seems to be how I am leaning because you don't have to deal with no heat and A/C issues. But I may change my mind, who knows.

I rememeber plenty of competently rebuilt engines lasting well over 100,000 miles that went out for under $1500-$2000. Poor running was maining due to people not paying attention to fuel injection and ignition systems on their t4's. I had a hot T4 in my 72 VW bus that was running strong after 50,000 hard miles of me doing drag races with my freinds in High School and charging over hills on hot days so I'm still a skeptic on value of an expensive T4. I have never blown a T4 yet. Maybe I'm just lucky?

No doubt that we have seen some incremental improvement in some of the components that can be installed on T4, but its still a T4.
