993 widebody advise sort

Just read the advert for the blown-engine car. £22K for a new engine!! Is that a real 993 engine cost (I know later models are low teens) or did something else happen at same time? - would be interesting to see the invoice!

Better check my oil level![&:]
 
I have always understood an engine rebuild would typically be 5K - 10K depending on what is saveable. At 10K you would be looking at new barrels and pistons and new cams, etc but most parts on the engine reusable (re-ground/re-polished crank, cases, cam towers, etc). 5K is your typical starting point for a full strip and rebuild with everything re-usable new rings, valves and guides done etc.

So the previous engine must have been completely trashed and everything new. I can see that being 22K but my question would be why go down that route. Source a decent second hand 993 engine at 5K and rebuild. It's not like decent second hand arn't out there. Even at a rebuild price of that engine you are lower than 22K.

The ad says new engine so my guess is 22K for a brand new engine from Porsche and probably fitted by OPC. I can think of more effective ways of spending 22K !!!

Wasnt aware the car was on Ebay. Just figured out how to search for completed auctions and couldn`t find it.

I too have sent an e-mail via pistonheads but hadn`t heard back yet. Its starting to sounds very dodgy.

 
Found the link to the ebay sale it ended a month ago!

Nice work. Wonder if it actually sold or not. Have left a voice message with the contact number via pistonheads. Will wait and see if I hear back although you have me a bit worried now.
 
wasnt meant to worry , it was just tread carefully.

This car would have sold a long time ago for around £30k if service history and MOT data was provided etc
 

These are almost common[;)] Found what looks like a better bet (well would be for me) like colour price etc and its manual

Silver one for £36k was up for a sale a couple of months ago. If only it had black leather and was a bit cheaper.


Black one looks nice but contacted the owner and found out last service was back in June 2009 at 62k so its missed 2 annual service and obviously is due for a major service now given its been over 2 years since the last. Clutch and suspension still original so would need to fact in a refresh/replacement of those in the future. Its very original but that translates to not much has been refreshed over the years. Given the lack of service etc what would be a fair price to pay for this black one, £28.5k?

Love midnight blue colour but its a tip. If it was manual i`d have snapped it up. Guess it would have been more expensive though.

Stll waiting to hear back on the Ocean blue one that was on ebay. Left a couple of voice messages and a few e-mails now but just getting radio silence.
 
Late comment, but sorry, but there's so much twaddle being talked about prices and mileages - yes they're beautiful cars... are you only there for the investment?

I dont follow your post.

Not after an investment but just making sure I pay the right price for the right car. Dont have money to burn so dont want to get burned should I have to sell in the future.

You stick with the 993's, they must be the lowest depreciating model range .........
