That's one hell of a price there. Where is this? If it is local to me I may have one 'benched' at that price. That is if they will do that. The front pump bushing tends to go bad on some of these and requires pump replacment. That part as an assembly I found is about 5-600 used. Of course if you were in the business I'm sure it is posible to find cheaper.

How much should I expect to pay for a rebuilt tranny and installation?
The Collection quoted me around 15k for the whole thing, the service advisor said just the tranny would run me 8k.
I have an 02 Boxster. I would appreciate your input.

You didn't mention the mileage on your car but if it's high ( 75 000) I'd go with a low mile 'recycler'. Rebuild if you're going to own it for a long time. Isn't there a big, Porsche specific recycler in Georgia? Have them ship down a low mile peach for you.

Sorry I missed where the OP was looking for a Tip. If there was interest in the manual, my Indy is Scott at McIlvain motors in Tempe. I may have heard the $1K wrong as it was not my focus at this time and also recall it was via another local vendor.

My Boxster has 91k miles on it. And if I could, i'd love to keep it for a long time, I'm definitely emotionally invested in this car.

Not Georgia- NC they're called DC dismantlers and claim to be the largest Porsche- specific dismantler in the USA.

Miami is like New York, to high in prices, basically they are crooks. Used, good mileage TIP goes for around $1500. Cost to get an Indy to replace it, about $750. If I had to speed $15k, I would seriously trade it in.

If a 3 hour drive isn't too far, there's a couple of very good independent shops in the Orlando area. Give Zotz or Stashu's a call. Google them

Still very low miles. You gotta cut your loss somewhere, either getting another tranny or sell it.
