There's a $5500 Boxster S on Austin's CL, and a $8800 S as well.
Clean titles -- good running cars
Its commonly stated that only 500 550 Anniversary SEs were imported into the US out of the total worldwide run of 1,953. IMHO, salvage title or not, if this car can be put back in reasonable original condition, it will become a sought after car within the next decade or so. Certain types of car buyers are constantly looking for sub model differentiation and the 2004 SE has it.

Currently, the least expensive 550 SE I can find for sell is Timco’s, then a couple at $15,500 and $17,900 and two outliers very low mileage/excellent original condition at $25,900 and $27,900. Today the NADA pricing has the SE at $11,375 for rough trade-in through $17,775 clean retail. KBB is way lower, but I’ve never found them to be a reasonable indicator for any car.
