Nothing is like it was. I was buying running 964's in 2014 for $10k and parting them out. Today they are worth $90-100K in same condition. I was able to rebuild an entire engine back then for $5k including the machine work. I did a top end in 24 and it cost me $5k for just a valve job doing everything but the machine work.

The newer cars are no less expensive unless they have a warranty. PDK trans failures are happening all the time $28k replacement cost and engines detonating aren't uncommon. Any Porsche can have a $20k plus bill come along at any time without warning these days.

I miss the old days.
