The point is, $600 is pricey IMO considering it gives you no warranty and no assurances past the original part. It's the SAME bearing race! Now if you don't know or don't care and are oblivious to what that means and would rather spout "you gets what you pays for", then please pass this discussion. But for those of us who know the difference, I think there's room for improvement.

For my info, how many motors have you bought from the factory? How many motors have you seen fail? How many dead boxster motors do you have stacked in your garage? How many people have you had to tell the motor replacement is going to cost more than the value of their car?
MOST of the people on this forum must include install and shipping and other costs when pricing a motor.
So $15k isn't a bad estimate, especially with the February Porsche price increases. All of the prices I looked at today in PET are above $12k with a CORE. Don't know where your $10k tops comes from.
