Okay here is the situation. I have been talking to this guy who is willing to part with his 2001 Boxster S for 8000 bucks. The car has 140,000 miles on it. Apparently the engine had timing issues and was rebuilt for 10k. New clutch, new top, new rear breaks, new exhaust and new CAT. This car is obviously not the best out there but for 8 grand it has my eye. I have a 18k budget. I figure if this car is in good shape (cosmetically) it might not be too bad of a deal even if I have to end up dumping 5k into it for maint. Thoughts?
