LN Engineering plans to support second hand F6I builds going forward.
This will help to boost resale values and awareness big time. While expertise sells, the reality is that service sells expertise. The new business model and product innovations will have a multiplier effect on overall business. I like where they are going.
That F6I went disappointingly low.
But it was an older build and wasn’t marketed very well.
Not that I plan to sell mine EVER, but when it does go to the next owner(my kids most likely) it will have over 375 spare parts to help keep it on the road for years to come.
...as long as fuel is still being sold.
If my kids don’t want it they have a note recommending they put it on BaT, if it still exists.
There was another FSI build I remember not going for all that much, it was a black C4, or something like that. I forget when exactly that was if it was during or before the boom here. Regardless I think the moral of the story is whenever you do something with a car whether it be modding or engine rebuild/replacement don't count on getting that money back. I would argue that it's even more true now than in the past because people are looking for clean, stock examples. This is no slight at FSI by any means just more of a assume that money is gone and any extra you get in a sale is gravy.

You may be right. But my bet is that most new 996 buyers have no clue what they should look for in a 996, so they go for color and miles instead of a well sorted car.
Lets face it, its difficult to take all of the info from the Rennlist firehose and grasp the meaning and application in the short time period they are shopping for a car.

Good news is we collectively have the solutions.
For sure, I think a lot of buyers these days or at least those spending big money on those cars are probably going to drive them a few miles but they will sit for 99% of the time hoping they appreciate even more. I think if you do find one that is modded or has an engine build with good service records and receipts you will have a better chance of getting a good deal becuse people want those low-mileage rare color combos like you mention.
I wouldn't be surprised over the next couple of years as the 991 and 992 come out of warranty and the complexity and cost of fixing pushes a portion of these owners away from the high tech cars and they instead move downstream to the 996 and 997 where the cost to service and maintain is not only more attractive, but the driving experience is more interactive.
turbo X50 factory aero kit, black interior and the clutch and coolant line’s already taken car off. I would bid but I don’t like red. Happy thanksgiving 🦃
