Value of 993 motor
 

I have a 1996 993 Vario Ram engine that is complete. Engine has 130,000 mi and was removed from a running 993. The motor was represented to me as a solid great running motor.

This motor has been sitting on a pallet in my shop for a couple of years and I am considering selling it.

Trying to determined a market value for this engine.

most go somewhere between $25 and $30K, but many of those are lower millage.
I would start at $27K and take somewhere around the 23-24K range.

Good luck

Seems a bit high a few months back they were $18k-20k with those miles maybe less. A friend just picked up a 3.6T motor and trans for $30k so deals are still happening,

Not sure how you can leverage this, but there happens to be two 993 rollers listed on eBay. Perhaps contact the sellers so they can tell potential buyers?

I checked out those two rollers myself, thinking of putting together a whole 993. If I remember, one is a cab and the other a targa. If there was a coupe available, I might have pursued that course.

I will try to make the availability of my engine known to the ebay watchers and potential purchasers.

Thanks for info.

A 993 engine with 100K mi was listed for sale on 10/9 asking $29K. I am going to watch that listing and try to gain a feel for pricing. Will list my eng for sale after the other one sells so that we are not competing.

At that price I can sell you a never used non serialized factory case already bored out for 3.8 on up P&C's for $8k and you can build the engine yourself and make a heck of an engine for less. You can buy new cases from the factory or $8k and use custom parts. Pricing has gotten out of control.

I suspect that the factory will be making these again as they are supplying singer.
