Glorious.

Body part's aren't nearly as expensive as I thought they would be. Of course the only picture is at night, on a black car, of the back, and the damage is on the front.

A V10 Luxo barge sounds like fun

I was having trouble sleeping last night and spend an unhealthy amount of time fantasizing about putting this drivetrain in the new to me Suzuki Sidekick. The sad part - depending on how you look at it - is that I could probably zero out the purchase price selling parts other than the engine.

Would that fit in a Boxster?

That would be agood use of a IMS failure by a walk away PO.

In reply to RossD :

At the asking price, that entire car is cheaper than a boxster engine.

I wouldn't be surprised if the replacement headlight is as much as the car as-is asking price.

I worked with a project engineer in NH who had one of these.  It was only broken a couple of times during the year I knew him.

These cars actually have a good reputation for reliability. I sent an e-mail. Haven't heard back.

Not bad actually. 

The 4.2 is much much worse. 

 

The V10 in this was down on power from the full fat V10. There are Gallardos running around with 150-200K miles right now as well.

Amazing, never thought those V-10 would last that long.
