It won’t be long before these 996s are antiques, and so an LS swap is not going to be as attractive as a hot rod 911 as a classic 911, that’s my guess.
Back when 996s were $15k machines, an LS swap was only a $20k investment, putting a hot rod 911 at $35k. Today, the LS swap has gone up to $25k, maybe $30k all-in. Since the 996 is selling in the high 20’s and low 30’s, the total cost is approaching $50-$60k. That’s a lot.
And then I’ve heard that even the lowly LS2 engines have become harder and harder to find for cheap money.

$25k to build a worse car seems like an awful deal to me, no matter how cheap the donor is.

Did the PPI really do this one in, even with the major service done?
How many purchases from BaT have similar (or worse) issues, but aren't disclosed (the majority, I'd say).

bmdaia This author's likes: 3,999The current market apparently has little recognition of what these last Mezgers are actually worth. Only the passage of time can fix this major disconnect

Recent comps are $85K+, reserve was prob $80K. So $68K high bid was like $20K off, but seller ignored multiple questions about unaddressed PPI items; can't blame bidders for hedging
Don't worry the 996 simp tossed his two cents in:

I like edging. Feels good
but my fingers are sore from down voting every comment that clown writes on every 996

Aerokit prices are definitely on the rise. Happy I picked one up in August for a solid deal.

So I have to ask how much is too much for the Aeros now? This one was posted in 2019 for $17k and Aero was added after that with 18''inch sport classic II and 3 spoke wheel and some other bits...Its now $38k

probably worth 38 if it was a factory aero with the XAA option.
later add ons not so much.
I still regret selling my 30K mile aero in 2018

I’ve got two 99 aero, and have been going back and forth on selling one or both. More for practicality, it’s difficult to keep them, along with an RS4 and a 944 S2 Cab exercised since I’ve been working from home. But it’s tempting to take some profit now, even though I support the notion that they will, maybe a little slower over the next couple years, continue to appreciate.
I’d be hard pressed to let either go for less than 35k.
