Anyone know how much a new 996 engine costs? Good to know if you need to factor in possible RMS leaks. I remember seeing people throwing around numbers lower than the cost of a 3.0 full rebuild.
The other problem I have is that I like driving the SC and don't want to get rid of it. Real A/C in summer sure would be nice though. I guess I'll have to make room for both...

1) An RMS seal costs a few bucks. You don't need to "replace" the motor when the seal leaks, only remove it for installation of the new seal.
2) A 3.4L 996 motor is around $12k
