That seems about reliable you get for a 911

The 987s are pretty bullet proof cars other than the IMS on earlier models; assuming this has the 2007 Carrera S engine, I don't think I'd worry much about it. The big question is how well the swap was done, but my guess is Ruf does good work.

I'm not one to slam cars, but while awesome, it could use at least a 1" drop.

Yeah, I haven't really kept up with suspension options on these, but the Spyder suspension was a pretty much direct swap on 987.2s and not THAT much effort on 987.1s; that's what I'd put on this car.

Probably on my ball park anyway it’s probably going to go for like 70 80 grand

Their pictures are terrible. My first Cayman was Atlas Gray, spectacular color...

Which, the 911, or the Boxster?

I have no idea what the market value (or reserve) of that Boxster is. It's a goofy sort of thing but I can't see paying close to what a 718 GTS will cost, or even what a 987.2 Spyder would run.

A stock version of this car would be...25? 26? Throw in 20 for the engine and that's probably a fair number.

Though, who knows, maybe someone will be captivated by the Ruf pedigree and get carried away.

I don't see how it would hit the mid to high-40's... You can get a well-specc'ed 2013-2014 S like mine for that.

If it were a .2 with a 9A1 engine, I could see it - or even higher. As it is, even the RUF 3.8L isn't on the same level of reliability/desirability as the 2009+.

Agreed. That's the absolute ceiling. And it should be substantially below that for a multitude of reasons, IMO.

With the inevitable downturn I wonder how car prices will be affected. Porsche bubble burst?
