Plus, it's up to $12K-$15K for a 3.0 or 3.2 rebuild…and fewer and fewer shops that can do it. The Spec Boxster guys are finding good motors in junk yards for $4500, and rebuilding them stronger for less than $10K.
I say cut loose the air-cooled cars to those who hoard them in garages and collections and drive a water pumper like you stole it!

I like your thinking...
Pretty much the way I've been thinking lately. Why pay 20k+ for an SC when I can get a similar condition 996 for 13-15K thats going to be quicker, and I'll be able to worry about less...
