I have a perfect running 2.5 that was a trade in sitting on my floor downstairs. It ran way too good (made 173HP on our dyno) to take it apart for a 2.9 build that the customer wanted. I was going to wait for a broken Boxster to come our way for sale, then slap this engine in it for another daily driver to add to my fleet. All the broken cars lately have been 3.2s, so its sitting here ready to be shipped!

I'll make you a deal on it as is, or with an IMSR carried out. It has zero issues and is a one owner engine. Call us at 706.219.4874

Called dealership I bought boxster from in November. Ran credit and I'm approved for another vehicle but they don't have any Porsches right now

Thank you for talking with me over the phone today. The offer was very reasonable, but by the time I pay for 2.5 + shipping + install, I could have made payments on a used boxster for over a year, maybe two years, so my options are entire new car or just the engine. Plus, coming up with all that, cash, at once, is not nearly as easy as paying that over 12-24 months.

new used engines just do not make financial sense for the price these vehicles are going for
