My rennlist inspired 996 fear level is a 6 month moving average of repair costs. That said, agree it's a positive catalyst for the market. Analog sports cars are quickly becoming collectible, and the 996 just needs an irrational excuse to counter the irrational fear.

Only up to 3.2 liters if I'm reading that right?

I shouldn’t have sold my Boxster for my 911. Here’s the ultimate track car deal

I figured at least a few people would hop on a 3.2 for their base Boxster since there is no core charge.

3.4 short block. Went all the way to check out and they never asked for a core charge. Free shipping. I would think you might get a call when you do checkout about your core?

Easier & better to do it with stock heads so you don't have to make any modifications. Plus you can sell your 3.4 while it's installed to get a better price from it. https://rennlist.com/forums/parts-ma...6l-engine.html

Just curious as they never did ask fo a core charge. It would be awesome to keep your short block and get a new one.

The dealer will ask for a core charge, or your existing core at time of order. I brought my core into them at the time I placed my order, thereby avoiding the charge. There was absolutely no core evaluation or inspection, just a “core” in any condition.
IMO, if the price is without a core, I think it’s a significant advantage.
