If the engine dies, I spend $15,000 on a 3.8l conversion and the car will be worth just south of $30,000 (at least that's what I have seen them sell for). Either way, I can't lose money on the car. I do all my own work, so maintenance is cheap. I love this thing. I used to buy a new car every few years and flush money down the toilet. I'd have 10 Boxsters with all that wasted depreciation. Your car is a win/win situation, stop worrying.  |
How could you get a 3.8 conversion for $15,000? I would think the engine alone would be well over that price, plus wouldn't you have to do other upgrades as well? I'd love to know if it could be done. I'll have to make the final decision about what to do with mine in a few days probably. Just waiting to hear if it is re-buildable now. It would be nice to be able to make lemonaide out of the lemon I got.
