The reality is that a running Miata may very well be worth more than a broken Boxster.

A broken Porsche presents a large risk to the buyer. Many things can't be inspected or tested adequately in a non-driving car.

I bought my 97 Boxster with a failed engine. Seller swore 20 times that the engine was the only issue - everything else "perfect".

After replacing the engine, it still cost me $1,800 to fix everything else that was "perfect".

I'm not implying that you would mis-represent your car, but many others have. Therefore buyers have to be conservative and assume that there may very well be something else wrong that will require repair.
