Ran across what appears to be a good deal on a complete 993 TT engine. It has 30,000 miles. The asking price is $8800. It's in Europe so I will pay shipping of approximately $600 by sea.
Includes:
993 3.6 Twin Turbo Complete Running Engine
Wiring Harness
Brain (their words)
Fuel Pump
I'm buying for a future lightweight project. I'd like to build a lightweight (approx 2500 lb air cooled) on a 993 or widened 964 body.
Question is what's an engine like this worth?
I would use Escrow.com or equivalent to minimize the risk.

Sounds good, maybe to good to be true. Almost $10k is a big gamble in my mind. Especially being an overseas deal. If it's from an individual I would be wary. A reputable company may be alright. If it's good and received as represented, then you scored. If not you're screwed. Sorry, I have major trust issues. Good luck

too good to be true, that's a NA 993 engine price, 25K for a turbo...

Like others said....run away!!
Van Zweeden in Netherlands will however sell you one for 15k eur, which is about 21k USD.
They list the engine as an exchange part but they will let it go for that price without an exchange motor. I know because i almost pulled the trigger on it before I found the EVO engine.

If a 30,000 mile car is worth mid $70ish, than the engine got's to be worth $25-30K of that.
