I'm still learning about the 987.2. I feel like a dinosaur.
It's got around 38K miles on it. I did the 40K mile service last year, but did not have time to drive the car much. I feel like pulling the plugs next oil change and also changing the water pump and coolant. Maybe when the weather warms up.
I have heard of 3.8L Caymans, but my impression was that they were punched out, not engine swaps. I would wonder about the Varioram being retained, and using the stock DME and Sport Chrono. I guess the best option is to retain the stock motor when and if it needs to be rebuilt. I am not expecting the same sort of engine life as in my aircooled 911.
I also heard about using GT3 control arms, but I assume that is for more neg camber? And GT3 air deflectors on the front control arms. That's maybe a good mod. And the center radiator. I think that is a very good idea.
As to price, which this thread is about, it was bought as a private sale from an estate liquidator. The owner had passed away, and the family was having a lot of trouble selling the car for some reason. I won't say what I paid, but I believe it was on the level of half of the market value, which was around half of what the guy paid new.
