Another 996 on BAT rebuilt but with engine issues
#76
But isn't one of the benefits of having a 40AE is that it has the extra HP from the factory?
So I don't see how that adds to the equation. Just take any 996 with a bad engine and send it to Jake and you'll probably be in for $30K or so. Get one in great shape with the color you like.

So from a collector's standpoint the Raby will be a minus as they will want stock rebuild. But from an enthusiast perspective the Raby is a huge plus. Interestingly enough, I have no idea of the resale value of a Raby because I never see them for sale.
In my own calculations, I'm figuring a 35% depreciation on the engine the moment you take ownership based upon other high end engines I've seen sell. But I also don't think this is like other engines and am hopeful it is either much less, or I'm never in a position to have to find out.
I may still have two more bids in me for this one.

FYI, I know an experienced racer that moved from a '99 to an '04 with an X51 for the additional power. After a year and half of development the '04 still wasn't as fast around the track as the '99.

Tell us you're not going to strip it down to the bare skeleton for running it into some race track barriers.
ha!

I'm out. I could go a little higher but with there are enough active bidders that it will go well out of my range. Guessing 21k.

Glad Jake chimed in. My initial thought was that they were making an awfully big claim with the only supporting evidence being a sticker in the door jamb...
Even at a potential 12k repair this would be a steal less than $15k and would still be a good deal up to $20k. More than that I don't know since it can never be a collector car at this point.
This one will be interesting.

Indeed, but what a roller to bet on
I think after repairs this is still a good price for the car/motor, but I doubt it can be sold for a profit any time soon. Basically it's on the high end for 40AE prices best I can tell.
