996 Engine rebuild cost / any value as it is

[Witterings]

I'm trying to get an approximate cost for a 996 engine rebuild or to drop in a recditioned engine if I can find one .... alternatively does the car have any value as it is / where would I be best trying to sell it?

The only information I have from the garage is it's totally ceased, they tried to crank it and can't

The car's an 01 carrerra 4 cabriolet and trying to find out what's best to do with it.

Tip or Manual box? For reference a Hartech rebuild for 6 pistons and liners is 10k +Vat. If you have damage to cams or crank you could be looking at a lot more on top again. If its a low miles, well specced manual it might be worth it. If its a high miles Tip probably not, at least from a financial POV, but its your car at the end of the day

It's manual and about 88k miles, codition's not great if I'm honest it's been kept oustide for 20 years and had some water ingress last year.

I was about to spend some money having it restored / bought back to pristine condition as I now have the possibility of garaging it, just glad this happened before I'd spent a few thousand in it!
