Was in Canadiantire yesterday and noticed a 911 (06 S) up on the lift and a skid sitting beside it with a motor shrink wrapped,so being nosey and knowing one off the mechanics personally,i preceded to find out what was going on.Apparently it was the store owners car and the reason the motor was removed was because the IMS bearing had failed and a new Porsche motor was getting installed .price off motor was $20,000 approx.Not sure what happened to the original motor but the new one was totally complete with clutch,flywheel,water pump ect already attached,so not sure if thats the way they come or maybe this was a rebuilt engine.I was kinda bummed that the newer design bearing had failed (mileage was 60000 kilometers) .Now im really nervous about my 06 Boxster.
I have no info on the car if it was tracked or daily driver,oil type ect.Will find out more another day from mechanic and report.Not sure what engine size either.Again will find out.FYI
