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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello, I am looking for a 3.4 litre core engine for a non turbo Porsche 911 (996). Would prefer a complete engine, but will consider one in pieces and/or incomplete. Please let me know what you have, also the condition, price and location. Would prefer to deal with someone locally in the S.F. Bay Area. Willing to buy a core engine outright or if someone was interested........I have a pair of litronic (xenon) headlights that will fit a 1997-2004 986 Boxster or 1999-2001 996/911. They are the later style with the smoke color turn signals. I would be willing to trade. Thanks in advance, and Have a great day!

This must be joke and he has only one post. It is probably the guy would a 2000 996 for $17K again. I guess he will now settle for the engine for a set of lights.

salvaged from wrecked cars and might have a 3.4l engine laying around or even in pieces. Doubt it will take lights in exchange though. Bring cash or credit card. Sincerely, Macster.

POST 9Original post

^^^ Well really, what can I do with just the litronics? To trade I'd need an entire exterior lighting system. Otherwise it's just absurd.

POST 10Original post

I got some original '99 dash vents and will trow in a red 3rd brakelight

POST 11Original post

I have a 12 year old Timex that I'll trade for an '03 or '04 996. Even swap, I won't ask for any additional $$$.

In today's economy, that sounds like a pretty fair deal.

POST 13Original post

I'll swap you a GT2 wing for the litronics .....

Does it come with a fresh battery? Otherwise you might only get a '00-02.
