Now I prep this engine and make sure its sound. Maybe putting in a new bearing, seals, etc. and having it ready to go. Lets say I never have to use it and I sell my Boxster and get something else. Now that engine setting in my garage can now be redeemed for cash...like having a savings account. It was there when I needed but never used it. Get it.  |
Not a bad plan but I sure haven't seen a used 3.2 for $2K. Not saying you can't find one but most I see are more in the $4-6K range.
