my friend picked up an 01 Carreras with a motor that had intermix for $7500 at a local police auction.

The miles impact value on these cars more than anything. With 134K, I'd call that a 5k roller. The right buyer might pay more, but it may take a while to find them. Lots of my engine customers buy cars already broken, and have us reconstruct them. To these people the miles on the rest of the car really matter.

$5k would be close for me I'd probably take $5500 for a quick and painless deal. I'm keeping the BBS wheels for another project and the added value there makes up the rest of my money I have into this thing.

^^good to hear you're gonna BUY ANOTHER CARRERA*! Those BBS wheels are quite rare. I'm obviously a fanboy of their wheels, but I've loved them for decades. My 996 has BBS oem units and I used to have some RCs on an oem-spec VW GLI back in '05. Just fantastic wheels that age very well with no flash.

The car will likely end up with a Flat 6 engine in it, if Stonegate buys it. They've been buying broken cars and holding them till someone wants a car with our engine. Stonegate sells the the car as it is, and we build them a custom engine, to order from the core engine in the vehicle. Thats what Sneaky Pete did with his 997, and Slakker did it as well with his blue 996 that sold on BAT a few months back.

Jake - thanks for the assist there, I just sent him an email. I have the car up for sale locally for $6500 and am getting barraged with texts and calls so if he can do $5500 I'm all over it.

I guess the miles were too high for him. That makes sense, as it seems people value mileage on these cars more than anything else, when it comes to value.
