A nice Boxster with a failed engine is worth $3-$4K.

$7,300 to fix? Huh? I just bought a spare engine for my Spec Boxster race car for $2,850 (75K miles, full engine with intake, accessories, ready to install). Just swap in a used engine and you can be back on the road for less than $4,500 ($3K for replacement engine + $1,500 for the swap and tune/oil).
