I just put a reman engine in a 98 boxster.  The engine cost $14k with core, and the car is probably worth $16k.  Fucking insane. 

Im shocked a 98 boxster made it this far without a motor.

16 Grand?

9 grand all day long on ebay.

I didnt say it was the first motor.  ;)

Yeah, retail from Porsche is $14k depending on which engine, it was extended warranty, no ebay here.

I've got an ACE hardware about 6 miles down the road and a mom&pop about 4 miles the other way.


Ace hardware sucks becuase they charge you by the bolt.  Try and find a place like tractor supply that charges by the pound.
