[Wayne 962]

I'm currently looking for another car and/or motor to do an Engine Rebuild article on. I've been talking with a guy who has a 2001 that is mixing oil and water together. I called over to LA Porsche Dismantelers and my friends there told me that the going rate for an 01 with a blown motor is about $4K-$6K. That is about what they buy them from. Another source told me just about the same thing.

I have a 3.6 997 motor that I picked up about 3 years ago with 10-20K on it (can't remember, but I have some paperwork somewhere on it). The car it came out of was rear-ended. The engine has a small scratch on the bottom of the case, and it's weeped a tiny bit of oil from there as it has sat on the engine stand for 3 years. I paid $5K for the motor, and would sell it for that (plus your core, which I can then use for my article), should pretty much be a pretty easy swap into an 02. Or, I might be interested in the 02, as I could easily drop the 997 motor in there. But as I mentioned previously, these don't sell for too much these days with broken engines.
