At first glance it looks somewhat enticing, but closer examination says stay away. The vandal didn't miss a single panel on the body and those are deep-deep dents. You'll have to replace all the removable panels (doors, fndrs, lids) and shrink fix the qtrs, resulting in an expensive bill to fix the exterior. Then you still need to replace the dash, seats, and top. By the time you get done, you'll have a ton of $$$ in it and it'll still have 100K on the engine. With the purchase price and the repair cost you could buy a much nicer, newer, lower mileage Box.

What a shame that a Boxster can be totaled without even being in a serious accident.
