The market's gone wild! Stuff's either super hard to find or the prices are out of this world. Take the 3.2s, for example. You used to be able to pick one up for like $6,500, but now they're starting at $15K and up, and that's just for one that might need some TLC. And don't even get me started on rebuilt 3.3s - $35K is steep, but I guess it's a relative bargain if the rebuild's done properly.

Well I am really disappointed I bought an ignition switch 3 years ago genuine Porsche part and now I am haveing issue with it not making contact in the run position

Nice progress. When you slide the cams in they spin freely, otherwise you’ll need to try retorquing the cam tower fasteners in random sequences until the cams don’t bind. Ideally this is done before the anaerobic sealant sets up, but you’ll probably be fine
