One option to consider would be POD storage.

I bought a BMW 2002 Parts Car (a roller) to aid in the restoration of my 2002 from a seller in San Luis Obispo, CA. It just fit into the PODS container and the seller was willing to do the appropriate tie-down, padding, etc.

PODS had the container picked-up same-day and transported it to my location in the Midwest via Rail. I needed to buy a $15 overnight storage permit from my municipality to keep the emptied POD on the street overnight until pick-up the next day, but all-in, it cost me $325.00 and the car arrived safely and in 5 days.

PODS isn't the only game in town using container storage, and I'm not certain a Boxster would fit. But if it does, this is a viable, safe, efficient and inexpensive option.

Cheers!
