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.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just saw an older episode where a guy tries to sell a 996 engine. Kind of funny. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xklajs_pawn-stars-out-of-gas-s04-e43_shortfilms Is that what you get when you order a Porsche engine from a junkyard, sight unseen?

POST 2Original post

Porsche junk yard engine will be the same as ANY other engine from the junk yard. Replacing motors with ones from wrecked cars is SOP in normal car brands. If "porsche premium" didn't apply, nobody would make a big deal out of it. The way things are with 996 pricing, to me it makes no sense from money stand point. 996.1 and early 996.2 can be had for $15k, used motors on E-bay are $7-11k, F6 rebuilt is $20k. Money math makes no sense to me, perhaps because I am being rational with my cars; IE car is a car, it has one function and that function is to drive me to places. I know if my 996 ****s the engine, it gets donated to goodwill the next day. With 986 cars it is even worse, as they can be had for $5k, so 986 is reached the Phaeton level of absurdity. As car is worth more as pieces then as a whole.

POST 3Original post

That dude is a straight idiot. The engine looks like he stored it in a tank of simple green and salt water.

POST 4Original post

I know its a tv show, but his eyebrow fidgeting made me nervous, on top of the whole soaked in salt lake thing.

POST 5Original post

That dude was nuts. If I was that mech they brought in, I would have lost it. You just don't talk to someone like that when you don't know them.
