Default 993 engine rebuild

If anyone has done a engine rebuild on a 993 c4, can you tell me how much you roughly paid and where?

1. Prices are all over the map. Depends on what needs to be repaired, and where you are.

1a. Shopping on price usually results in dissatisfaction.

2. Few need a "rebuild." Many need a top end. What DOES need to be repaired?

3. Best to work with someone reasonably near you, so give us your location and you'll get many recommendations.

engine rebuild: $15k to $20k
top end: $3500 to $8k
Justification: but but but it hasn't depreciated, and its last of the aircooled, and now that i can't afford to eat, the car/driver will be lighter so 282bhp will feel fast.

There's an abundance of great information/discussion on this board, but to be honest, discussions of "what does it cost" and "what is it worth" are not that useful. There are simply too many variables that impact folks' responses.

Find a reputable shop (Not a dealer) that can properly diagnose what your car needs and let them provide you with your options. Then make your choice, write the check, and live with it.

Good luck,
Terry

Couldn't be happier with the results!!

Does not sound like he likes to swing a wrench, so you gotta pay... :-)

I have the same question like everyone else, what is driving your conclusion you NEED a rebuild, and what level of rebuild do you think you need?
