Could be way off here,

but wont it lose value (more than usual) if the engine and chassis numbers are different??

errr no.

The engine number is seperate from the chassis number.

So there would be a different engine number, but same chassis number (assuming the car is legit.)

Engine swaps are common.

I paid 30K 12 months ago. Pacepace street engine, clutch, steel wheeled turbos, catch can, Apexi suspension, 18" TE37's and 260rwkw@1bar on a stock computer and airbox. Goes hard enough to put me in the running at DECA and pulls 0-100 in 4.02s and 40m. Repairs cost to date...an intercooler hose split and jake32 sent me some off a 32. Now if he'd only give me a bank account # so I can pay him some beer money.

Strangely the thread disappeared just days after I bought it......

The fact remains that they are getting cheaper, and the more mods done means the harder it has been thrashed so the sooner you will pay for repairs. In that light I justify that mods are then worth only a fraction of the new cost unless you are offered an extensive warranty.

My opinion, $30K max for a stockish 95; and a 34 engine is nothing special over a 33. Sure it has BB turbos but I fitted a set to my 25t track car and one shattered at 5psi so the time bomb ticks unless they have been reworked or replaced.

Essentially, look at what the market is paying. If one has been on the market for a while and not selling, it's too exxy.
