Hi! Hello! Welcome!

We are friendly here, so a first post from someone who has not introduced themselves, or said please and thank you with their question, makes us sad pandas.

REALLY???

This isn't Sparta boy-o!!!

Thanks everyone. I've had my 1982 911 SC Targa for 6 years without an issue. Also an owner of a 2006 Cayman but the former is my true driving machine.

For those of you who are more in the know, I have another question/best guess for you. What is a range of cost one should expect for an engine rebuild? I consciously know I'm going to do the work, but the rational side of me is trying to compare the cost plus my basis with buying a new 1981-1983 Targa. I'm assuming in a 8.5 of 10 condition or better the car is worth about $35K.

realistically $15k-$20k if the shop does everything.

what is wrong with the engine?

I'm told by my mechanic the transaxle needs replacement. Though I love the car, I profess I'm a novice as it relates to mechanics. Thanks for your wisdom.
