Not really as much of a steal as you might think. Blue Book was $7,500. 996's sell for a dime a dozen just like Boxster's - especially high mileage cars. Don't believe the listing prices and don't believe the forums; 996's are selling at 99-Cent store prices.
And just like a Boxster (which it is!), the cost isn't in the purchase price, the real cost is keeping things fixed. Look at the list of items that I repaired - if I paid a shop to do all of that work, it would have been close to 50% of the value of the car. And it still needs $2,000 in shocks and suspension re-fresh parts + whatever else might come up. And at nearly 150K miles, that engine won't last forever.
