Engine Question: 2.4 S
 
Gents,

Need to know the price range for a real 911, 2.4 S engine.
Code 911/53
# 633XXXX
Rebuilt in germany and has 15,000 Kms.
Comes with tuned 40 Webers, heaters and muffler, just about everything to start-up and run with a 915 trans.

I have a chance to buy one here in Germany, and not spend the $$$ to rebuild mine that is in storage in the USA...which I'll sell at a later date to a pelican member :)

Vr,
Bavaria911

8-9 K in Euros is about 11K dollars.
If that is the going rate for a 2.4S in the States, I'll
pass on this one for sale and just rebuild mine in the future --
for what I was told will cost about 6 K in dollars.
Thanks,

Bavaria

Sorry to dig up an old(er) post, but are we talking about fully rebuild engines or just a regular running 2.4S?

$11.000 seems kinda high....

I think if you collect all the pieces separately you don't even pay $11.000 to get a real 2.4s

Any thoughts?

If it has Webers, it is not a "real" 911/53 engine, and would be less valuable than if it had the original MFI. Also, "rebuilt" is a wide-open word when it comes to these motors. Without knowing the history of the engine and the quality of the work done to it, and testing that it has good compression and leakdown numbers, a used motor is always a gamble and should be considered as a "core" unless known to be otherwise. You might be better off rebuilding your own engine, although unless you are doing all the work yourself, $6K for a rebuild may be wishful thinking on your part. :o You could spend more than that on parts and machining, depending on what is wrong with it.

Hey Ttweed,

What would be the value of a 'core' 2.4S engine with the original MFI in place? I bought one and wanted to know if I paid to much....
I'm planning on trying it out 'as is' and if it turns out that it needs a rebuilt I will just do that or part it out...

$8K for a solid runner and $11K for a freshly rebuilt 'S' motor is about right, as long as it is complete with MFI. Without MFI, the engine is worth several thousand $$$ less.

Johan123m 08-25-2006 11:54 PM

ok,

So I know I got a bargain at 3800 dollar...

The heatexchangers are missing but otherwise it's complete. I'll have to check compression and leakdown ofcourse, but I guess, worst-case-scenario, if I have to part it out, I'll get my money back, easy.
