I recently saw a 2.7 liter engine and transmission on Ebay for sale... the guy stated in his listing that he' s swapped the engine out for a 3.4 liter.
I emailed him through ebay and asked how much the conversion was... ready?
$35,000 bucks! Yikes! I doubt he'll ever get his money back out of that.
Let's see, I could get $18k for my 1997, plus that $35k and have $53k... in two years, with interest, I could own a 987 S with some factory warranty still left on it. Hmmm.
Old Boxster with a wild ride, or very new ride with warranty? Hard decision to make.
Oh yeah... if the converted boxster is wrecked or stolen, you can forget about your insurance company giving you the 35k you dropped into it, right? Yet another strike against this idea from a financial perspective.
