I bought my car about 2 years ago for $7500 and other than the usual repairs for a high mileage Boxster, I've had no problems and the car runs and looks like a champ. So I would never pay $5500 for a car that neads a new motor when I could pay a couple of thousand more for a car that needs nothing.

Even if you got the car for $1000, a used motor is around $5k, which already has you at about what the car is worth.
