Yeah that's a nasty bill. I'm looking at about 16 000€ for a rebuilt motor, though that one should come installed, with a 3y warranty.
Not really an expense I had planned, but there's no point in buying a 911 and then not driving it. I'll just have to bite the bullet I'm afraid. Would love to tool up, buy sleeved casings and do everything myself, but:
-I have a 5 months old and she takes priority over the cars
-It would surely end up being more expensive, especially if you factor in the future resale value of a car with a homebuilt engine vs. one with a professionally built, warrantied unit.
