I bought my Wife a Beetle 1.8T and we did a few things to it as well. I originally tried selling it for 17,000 in our Auto Trader and nothing. I lowered it to 15,000 and listed it again, nothing. I lowered it again to 13,000 and still nothing. There is no interest in a Beetle at all. My real problem was it was 1.8T Yellow and 5 speed. Only a woman would drive a yellow beetle, and most women have no interest in a more expensive turbo motor or even less a standard transmission. We simply couldn't sell it. I took off the few bits and pieces I could and traded the car in for $10,000 which was $2000 less than I owed on the stupid car.
We lost our shirt trying to sell that car, it was just horible. I sold the few bits and pieces I pulled off for basically nothing so I was out 2k, plus say 2k on the parts I lost money on that were on the car still. (exhaust, lowering springs etc.. couldn't remove those parts).
From a financial standpoint, you would be best off to sell the Boxster and keep the beetle. When your done screwing interns and drinking beer then buy what you want cause you'll have the money to do it. Then pull the stuff off the beetle and sell it or just trade it in and forget about it as you buy a new 997 (or 998 I guess by then lol..) with all that money you're making.
