The process has been full of stop starts. I don't think a typical rebuild would take so long but it wouldn't be a couple of weeks even if it all went as expected. I can see why independents do this type of work. I think it would be very satisfying to rebuild an engine. I may still put it on my bucket list.

Yeah. Maybe. I should have been a bit clearer. Not poking sticks but unless there is something Im missing it seems a long time to do a stock rebuild. As John says its probably due to how busy they are etc but I suspect parts pipeline is a big issue in NZ.
One thing I have noticed from my US parts supplier is that PCNA basically stock EVERYTHING in their warehouses for 3 day shipment to the Westcoast and then 5 days USPS priority to NZ. I think over the years perhaps 2 in 50 items have had to be ordered ex Germany. When you are rebuilding an engine I suspect there are many small things that crop up you wished youd ordered....and then have to wait 3 weeks for....

bucket list engine self build ? I'd like to but wouldn't trust myself - entirely a reflection of my ability as a mechanic - I'd have to work my way up starting with the lawn mower haha

Ive bought a couple of cars from Trading Post in the past. They always price their cars very sharp to move them quickly. The car looks fairly honest and a quick call to CCS will determine when it lats was serviced and if there is anything specific they know about it. Trading Post were always good to let me take the cars to a specialist for a PPI so assuming it past that with a responsible report Id say this would be a great car for someone getting into a 911.
The 964 is appreciating slowly in the US & UK and yet down in the Switzerland of the Pacific the 964 seems plentiful and depreciating. NZ seems to buck the trend....

Manual 964's seem to be rare here, most Jap imports seem to be tipo?
Is a C4 worth less than a C2 these days?

I get the sense the NZ 993 market is a little over valued and the 964 market under valued when compared to those markets.
A C4 seems to be 10-15% less than comparative C2.

It's mainly the manual 993 market that is high. A tipo 993 is half the cost of a manual one.
