Kent: Here's an extract from another discussion where the fellow is in the same positon you are...His is a 99 996 in great interior shape, and with 91K miles....but blew the engine and was asking about fixing it versus selling it sans motor...The response is sort of what I thought when I threw out the $25K.

......"Strasse Auto also did my motor. He is very knowledgable and I was happy with the work and warranty, but the sting never goes away. My guess is you can pay him $6500 and sell the car for $20K or pay Porsche $11K and sell the car for $24K with the 2 year warranty. Either way, it works about the same for you in the end.

I recommend fixing it as cheaply as possible, holding on to it until there is about 6 months left on the warranty (at least you can get some worry-free enjoyment out of it) and then dump it to someone with 6 months of warranty left. It may never fail again, who knows?...."

I sincerely hope you find the right buyer for what looks like a great car.
