If anyone is interested I am trying to sell it before I bite the bullet on a new motor. Email or PM to discuss price. Thanks!
I've cleaned the leather and added carbon ignition surround, carbon hazard surround, and aluminum gauge rings since this photo was taken.

Going to be a tough sale if it needs a motor...good luck with the sale.

I read your story on the other thread. Get a motor, put it in, and then sell it. You'll get more money that way.

Recently there was a poster on Rennlist interested in a 996 sans motor, don't know if he's still in the market or not. GL.

Really rotten luck. Good luck with the sale.

Hey talk to Tippy on this board. He's been looking for a project car for that insane motor of his.

Here is a link to a rebuilt motor with warranty on ebay.

I'm also interested, and sort of looking for a 996 w/out a motor... The car looks great in pictures, alas we couldn't agree on a price.

Good luck with the sale. That said, if you can afford to have the car fixed now, that may not be a bad financial move.

To quicken this process, I am asking $16,000 for the car. No sweat either way. If it doesn't bring that I will just put a motor in myself. The dealer is just waiting for the call to pull the trigger anyway.
I personally think this car is in great shape for a 2000, with the exception of the motor (that is still in the car, for core exchange). The interior is in nice shape. I scratched the instrument surround a little when putting the last gauge ring on, but I was just going to leave it. It could always be replaced with a carbon one. Sorry I don't have anymore photos as the car is a fair distance from my home.

Othomas,

I am interested/curious but at a lower price point so keep me in mind before you do anything. My 100% prefer is for a tip but a 6spd at the right price could be worthwhile. it's for someone far cuter than me

What are the miles and options? I don't see heated seats.. others?

Tippy

That was me but $16,000 plus all the mods I would have to do and time, the project will not fit my budget.

60,500 miles....not many options. I have installed carbon shift ****, carbon inst. surr., and carbon hazz. surr., clear markers. It has alcantara headliner and that's about it.

If you spend $12k on a new motor, you could probably get more than $28k ($16k plus motor cost), right?

othomasjr

I honestly think it's 6 of one and a half dozen of the other. I wish I had the forethought to buy a 911 that needed a motor, but was in good shape otherwise. That way, you get the warranty without the risk of buying one that could fail.
The motor install for me is $12,777.00. So, I'm not sure why my car would only be worth $10,000 as is. That would be $23,000 and that is too cheap. My car with a new motor is much better than if it had the original flux capicitor.
