Dozens... but I know where a 17k mile 996TT engine is for sale... Complete for 12k

I'm certainly no expert, but from the reading I've been doing, the TT is a completely different chasis. Everything is stiffer, beefier, etc. I suppose it would fit, but past that, not sure what other complications might arise.

So Jake, are you suggesting that with the RND motor in, a lot of these gremlins that appear after 100k should mostly disappear? I get the part about the TT having it's own issues, but if I'm a betting person, I'm thinking that down the road, even 996 TTs are going up in value as where the Carreras aren't going to. Also, the fun factor is a no-brainer. Still, I want to make the right decision. I'm going to check on the price of the RND motor, but based on what I heard from a pretty well known mechanic here in Nor Cal, he felt that putting more money into a 996 TT is better spent vs. a high mileage C2. After driving one, I would tend to agree but, I'm still searching for answers.

Thanks.

I have decided to sell my C2, but when my tech diagnosed the cat, he had to remove several things like the AC, the oil cooler, etc. to diagnose the issue. When I brought the car in, it was running, but due to the "mikeshake" issue, I can't run it for too long. Since I'll be selling it as a roller, does it make sense to pay my tech the extra $600 bucks to put on the things he took off? Will it potentially net me more money since I will be able to show buyers that the car starts and runs? Bottom line, is it worth the money?

Thanks.

Nope. A roller is a roller. I wouldn't put another dime into it.

Every minute the car sits with oil in the coolant, all 29 of the coolant hoses are being further destroyed. A few weeks of this will find the petroleum in the oil injuring the hoses even more... The system needs to be flushed clean ASAP, else the next guy will get a 4,000 dollar surprise. That's what I'd be most concerned about.

following oil in coolant I've been able to rip main coolant hoses in half with my bare hands with little effort.

Yeah, I forgot about the hose thing as I was planning on replacing them anyway if I was going to keep the car, so as a roller, it may not even work now that the hoses have been sitting and probably deteriorating just as the car has been sitting for the last coupole of months. So I won't have the car put back together again, but how do I find out what to ask for the car? It's a really clean cabrio. Great paint, 19" lobster claws with pretty new rubber and a near perect interior and top. I've had some people say $5k and others say $15k (which I think is nowhere near realistic in my mind). I can't even find any online rollers to ball park it. Aside from the milkshake issue, the clutch and IMS have also been changed in the last 10k. Any ideas on pricing?

Thanks!

The 5K figure is about all it'll really sell for... Coupes bring a little more.

I hav a customer looking for a broken cab, send us some pics.

Slakker

I'd give you 8k if it was a coupe.

As an FYI, I sold my broken 99 for $6,400 on EBAY....

Broken cabs are hard to sell... The Coupes get gobbled up pretty quickly by my customers.

Jake, you rock my friend. Thank you.
