My local gas station has one, At most a 6 out of 10 shape wise. He is looking to sell it with the engine already removed.Which I think means no "core" valve for me. I think its a 70k miles car with a manual. Nothing special.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Sounds like $5-$7k to me. The car is only worth mid teens if it had a good motor and a motor is going to likely be the better part of $10k...
A Porsche rebuilt engine is $15,000 if lucky to get a deal these days. Then figure the install added on.
If you pass do you mind sharing the info? bummer that the core is gone.
Sounds like a good candidite for an LS3
It is worth whatever you are willing to pay. Most of us would use it for parts our a custom project... Myself I would not give him more then 3k for the thing as without even the blown motor it is missing way to much.
I am looking to buy a 996 or 997 to build as a track car. Prefer one with a blown engine for the obvious cost savings and ability to build the way I desire. I thought that I may have found a local one this week but seller wanted to get more than $10K for it. I was really jazzed hoping to avoid buying at auction with fees and likely shipping.
A car sold near me recently. It was a 99 with very low miles (around 30k I think) and was at least an 8/10 exterior and interior. It went for $8K. Without a core value and with a car that's already rough, I wouldn't pay a penny over $5K. You can get a clean and really well-sorted 99 for a good deal under $20K...
Sounds like a good candidate for an LS swap...
