It appears Boxsters have crossed the threshold where they will be forced to become disposable.

Its a little rough, but if you have the courage, this Boxster may be for you. However its probably a good example of, "The most expensive Porsche is a cheap Porsche"

This isn't even the first time this guy has run this ad, so I guess its not a steal or anything.

its a 10 year old boxter. They are going to start declining in value until they reach "classic" status and the price goes back up again.

Wonder how he got 168k out of that motor, I keep hearing they are 90-100k then throw away motors...

They are tempting for sure, but I am still scared of them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

maybe it wasn't driven like a Porsche for 168k miles? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) it might have had a little work, too. 6k car, and a 7-8k rebuild, you'd have a fresh car for under 15.... if it even needs a rebuild.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif)

In last month's Excellence Market Report on mid-engined Porsches the first 2 years of Boxsters and 914-4's bring pretty much the same money.

For value the 914 will surpass the Boxters. The Boxter motors had problems with the intermediate shafts. A mechanic friend of mine put it to me this way: There's a car with a known problem, If you have an extra $7 sitting around, buy one and plan to rebuild it, it's just a matter of when.
