Haha yeah doubling down because even though I spent way more then originally planned it is a great car! One of the best I have ever driven. I did sell the original car to a gentleman in Wisconsin who I believe is lurking around these forums somewhere although not sure if he has ever posted. I need to touch base with him and see how he is liking the car!

Yes as you pointed out further down the line here, Caymans are not really reasonably priced when compared to Boxsters!

Not in your neck of the woods, tho.

Thanks for the lead, that is very well priced! A 911 would probably be the smarter build but to be honest I think the Boxster is a much better balanced car! Still may give them a call though!
Thanks for your reply!

Yeah if all else fails I may do that but I'm sure he would rather talk them into a $20K rebuild

Check this forum link out and let me know if you're interested: 01S - SEMI Roller for Sale

Regards,

Definitely interested but would like to know more about it, the Craigslist link in the post is expired - please send more details!

I like road trips so I'm willing to consider just about anything as long as it does not involve importing from overseas
Thanks!

DANG! I REALLY don't want a black on black car as summers here suck bad enough, but DAMN thats a pretty good deal! Maybe a wrap and an interior swap
Thanks for the lead!

Yessir! I'm figuring to find a decent complete Boxster in the $3-5K range as where Caymans didn't have nearly as high of an engine failure rate and you'll be lucky to find a cheap one $10k+

I appreciate all the replies, definitely keep em coming!
