So realistically a boxster with a blown engine or transmission is worth i would say about $2k, since after $5k of repairs it would be about even with its market value. I've actually bought one from this forum before for $2000 that needed an engine, that car was a manual (slightly more desirable).

Edit: It was actually $1200 Here's the thread
$2K if the car looks like a piece of ****************. OP's car will sell for more than $2K as it stands.

Otherwise, a bunch of drivel.
