Default Boxster with 355,000 miles? Sweet!

I wonder if this is the original engine?

Default Price is not fact, only an opinion. The seller thinks the car's worth...

$13.5K. Let's see what a buyer thinks.

eek. Anytime I see a used car w/o correct mileage, tons of aftermarket crap all over it, blacked out headlights, missing interior pieces... have fun trying to sell, or re-sell that one!

think that one will sit on the lot for a while?

Buy it dump in a 3.4 and fix the headlight I bet it would sell quite easily.

good point! I saw anoter site that a guy is trying to buy Boxsters with bad engines in them to make electric cars out of them... now that may not be as productive of an engine swap...

Anyone out there want to plug their Porsche in overnight?

Meric, that sounds like fun,

Given the high torque of an electric motor and the fact that you only need about 4 mins full power time on a slalom this could be fun.

Can you send me the link on the electric cars?

Thanks,

I hope I did that right? it is on a very inferior board for Porsche, just stumbled across it because their Jaguar board is decent...
