At least it was never tracked Chris  . Something to consider; when I sold my '02 S a year and a half back I found that someone in the market for a "fun" car and not a true Porsche enthusiast kind of freaked out when I pulled the binder full of receipts and service history. I know a couple of guys made up their minds right then upon seeing the stack of paperwork.
My guess is you'll draw much more interest and get more money by posting it for sale in Porsche web sites. Good Luck.....

Uh-oh. What's wrong with tracking it? I've autoX with mine, but only a couple of times (and not very well, if you must know), is this a big issue?

For a group of potential buyers this is a big no-no

Ooops, I didn't mean to deride anything here Chris, sorry if I did. In my experience occasionally tracking a car is a non-issue come selling time.

No, No, that's not what I meant with my post.
I see so many ads (even for GT3) where it says "never tracked", that I am assuming that there must be many potential buyers out there for whom this must be a big red flag. That's what I meant with me post. I will also remove my "badge of honor" decals of all the tracks I drove on.
I for my part, when I looked at GT3 while I was out on the hunt for a new car, I ruled out every GT3 w/o a built in roll cage and proper GT3 seats.

Cool, I'm glad I didn't upset you in any way, you've always struck me as a good guy. It's kind of fun to watch some of the Boxster guys move towards 911's, totally different vehicles. Good Luck......

Chris, in my neck of the woods I think $14.5 is light. I know for a fact that was wholesale pricing last summer. If you don't need to get rid of it, just wait for an enthusiast who's done the research. Your car is clearly well maintained and someone who knows what they're doing should know that buying an original clutch, non IMSBR car with 20k less on the clock is not getting a better deal...and in fact is most certainly getting a lessor deal. A turn key 11 year old Boxster S with the right upgrades beats the hell out of a "dealer maintained 04 with 60k IMHO.
