I found two used 2.5 ( I think) engines at the reseller that sold me the Boxster, he wants 3500 /3800. Here's my questions:

1)what is my 2.5 worth as a core?

2) What would you guys offer him? He's giving a 12 month warranty, I don't want that, it will only turn into a 6 month anyway. (potential negotiating point to bail on the warranty)

3) What do you guys think is a decent price for an engine in/out at my mechanic's with clutch pack included, his clock hour is 70

Thanks you guys

PS No IMS service in rebuilt, not purchasing it
