Friend of a friend...wants me to source an engine for him and do an R&R install.....not like it's hard....sounds like it would be fun and a challenge.
BTW the two salvage yards don't even want an exchange. Sounds like they aren't worth it to rebuild.....anyone ever do one or just tear one down to see what's up? what are new crate motors from Porsche going for? This is an automatic and basic model....any idea what the book rate for an R&R is? |

no clue really, I'm guessing (really g u e s s i n g ) at least $7500 for r & r. and 10 or 11 k for the engine? One really can'tapply a rational price scheme to parts from Zuffenhuasen. I've learned of a few parts prices for parts for the air-cooled cars that were ludicrous. I think it is intensional, to discourage repair. A new targa top for $15,000.00? Crimeny. Or maybe just crime. Well, it's their company, not mine. I like boxters. I love the way they drive. I think there iis a strong similarity in 914s and Boxters on the road. I think it should be worth a rebuild, but thats not based on dollars and sense...er...cents. |
