1997 Boxster - Trans Failed - black w/red interior.

I bought this in late 2022 and in 2023-2024 I tackled a good bit of work with an emphasis on the making it reliable and drivable.
  • Cooling system redo (water pump, thermostat, hoses, radiators).
  • Suspension system (all 4 corners with new Koni Special Active shocks).
  • Ignition system (spark plugs, coils, fuel injectors).
  • Repaired the secondary air injection system, repaired all vacuum lines and replaced AOS.
  • Power steering pump replaced with used one and system flushed.
  • New AC condensers and recharged system.
  • Interior - dyed carpet and seats - relamped interior with white LEDs
  • Alpine radio with Apple Carplay.
  • New Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 tires.

And about a month ago, the auto trans failed. I'm just not sure that I've got it in me to keep this project going facing a big bill to replace the trans (and while it's out I would do the IMS and RMS).

I'm looking at just moving this project to someone else. Here's how I came up with my valuation.
  • 2.5 engine - $2000
  • Interior (carpet/seats/dash) - $1000
  • Suspension components, wheels & tires - $2000
  • Everything else (electronics, exhaust, lights, cooling system) - FREE

I don't want to tear this thing apart and it's too nice to scrap it. But I don't want to drop another $5-7k and be in nearly $20k total. I'd rather cut my losses. Asking $5000 as-is.

Located in Suburban Philadelphia. I'll help coordinate shipping but not paying for it.
