Maybe you should provide the name of this cheap supplier so at least two people in this thread can contact them because they need engines.
Ciao,
Adrian.

The last 99 model year 996 engine we bought (last week) had a msrp of $8900.
Has the updated intermediate shaft and other pieces.
Doesn't come with the flywheel or clutch so those parts may be needed.
It's the best way to go for both car owners (comes with a Porsche warranty) and shops.

My quotes also included the whole long engine package (as listed by Brad) shipping, removal and installation along with related taxes and charges which seem to be different state by state.

However I will pay retail price not wholesale price and this quoting of wholesale prices is providing a false overview of the "real cost" situation to the 996 owner.
I am glad though that the end users are posting their costs to this thread because that is showing the real current picture.
However in 2008/2009 this will change as Porsche raise their prices again it will only get worse. Yes guys when a product is 10 years old Porsche raise their prices on all of its major parts.
A cheaper rebuild/DIY solution has to be found and will be because that is what real Porsche Enthusiasts do. This is why Rennlist was created and why it still exists, not that you would get that feeling reading this and other threads on this forum sometimes.
Ciao,
Adrian.

My engine was replaced under warranty on march 2004, my car is a 2002 C2, how do I know if my car has the upgraded/redesigned RMS and intermediate shaft?? I asked the guys at the Porsche dealer ans of course they said yes... but is there any way I can check for that?
