Strange, he says there's no reserve yet he made the starting bid $5,000

. He also says "It will be shipped straight from the shop in Charleston" and "I want to ship everything as soon as possible and make room in my garage", makes me wonder the true mileage

.

70000 is a lot for a transplant... remember this engine runs the 7.8 DME so its a very extensive swap for 5.2.2 and 7.2 DME based cars... You will most likely not be able to go to any porsche shop and pay them to do the swap... successfully.

Very true. This would only be an easy and clean swap for 03 and 04 boxsters with motronic 7.8. If I just had 5 grand lying around I'd probably buy it myself.
