To clarify, I wasn't dissing the Tiburon, I don't know anything about them. I actually like the looks of the current Hyundai SUVs and the Genesis line. It just seems like they put a lot of money and effort into making that Tiburon look like a Ferrari.

Picked up a nice set of 18in turbo twist wheels in Boxster fitment this morning just because.

Anyone need some wheels? haha

I want to buy this one just to replace the tail lights :eek:

I'm sure someone likes it, but the tint with the red just doesn't look right to me. ...or at least de-amber the headlights too.

Black out the third brake light... black that pipe... dusty black the wheels... limo tint the windows.

I like the blacked out side markers.

That black works very well with the red.

And, yes, de-amber the fronts.

But the bigger issue here - Is this today's market correct price?

I'd say the price is not incorrect....I passed on a 2003 Box S Tip with105K last spring for $4,800. Ran and drove great and A/C was cold...dirty as heck and at a minimum needed maintenance brought up to date. Just didn't feel like screwing with it at the time. As usual, as soon as it was sold if seconded guessed myself. Part of my passing was that I knew other opportunities would come up.

There's LOTS of them!

That is a hell of a price. I would snatch it up just to resell provided it doesn't have some hidden problems.

I would say that's a good price around here. The only one's I see cheaper have issues.

This looks interesting...

Interesting, it is a 2003, yet it has headlights and wheels from an earlier year Boxster, and seats from a 987/997. I wonder what else has been cobbled up in the car to keep it going that isn't easily seen.

My thoughts exactly!

Oh. I wasn't suggesting you were dissing the Tib. Not at all. All good.

Purchased 2 tibs that evening. Wife wanted the silver GT. I took it for a test drive, and loved it. Lots of torque steer, however. I never took measures to address that. Started walking to the finance office... saw the yellow SE on the floor... sold. Debadged both of them... purchased the Korean emblems, Tuscani... Elise... and what not. Real head turners. I digress.

The Genesis looks quite grown up. Sophisticated.

Nice catch.

Probably repaired by a non-Porsche enthusiast who doesn't know the difference between an 03, 01, and 05 Boxster. Looking at that one pic of the front bumper, it appears the paint is cracking. Probably needed a bumper and headlights that were pulled from a 986.1. The tail lights are 986.2.

Did you notice the discrepancy with the VIN? Looks like they left a digit off in their verbiage. Not a smart idea.

Could this be a Wheeler Dealer tiptronic low on fluid? For that price, would be worth the chance.

Tom's probably high-tailing it out to Palm Dessert right now to grab that 2.7.

I’d bet it’s a theft recovery tossed back together with whatever could be found.

Not much information about the car but that sounds like one badass engine it has in it

SCAM!!! In the local CL.

https://slo.craigslist.org/cto/d/classy-black-porsche-boxster/6426732330.html

It looks like they got the add right in your area but got it mixed up with another scam add in mine. There's probably an add out there for a 69 Camaro with a 2.7 porsche boxster motor in it. lol

https://lasalle.craigslist.org/cto/d/four-speed-automatic/6428125780.html

Its listed as a 4 speed automatic in northern IL....with tropical plants in the background...

Sheesh that car gets around more than a girl we nicknamed "mattress" back in college :D

Yea, It popped up here in the Seattle area the other day too...

Seem cheap enough?

Left Litronic -"Broken"
 

This could be a very good deal to the right buyer:
I'd buy if I didn't already have too many spares...

With that wing the Cayman should require wide load lead and follow cars when driven on the road.

What did you find on CL today?
 

Nothing. Craigs List is literally where you go to be robbed. Had some clown
advertising used toilets with my phone number for over a year. Complained to CL,
nothing done. Finally had to track the SOB down and "convince" him to pull the ad.

Price reduced 1999 boxter...
 

I'm thinking the price still needs to come down a bit.
Here's a current ad listed 24 days ago:

"...don't wanna sell it but it's a toy we have just sitting, someone hit and ran my wife and it's 1600 to fix eveything..."

I'm guessing that it's going to be a bit more than $1,600 after good a look underneath, ...rear subframe, suspension, etc.

I don't really need a 1997... but...
 

Value there?

What the heck does "registration is on non opp" mean?

I thought of Ron Ziegler, who famously said "That Statement is No Longer Operative" when I saw that. I interpreted it to mean the registration has lapsed or there is no title.

https://milwaukee.craigslist.org/pts/d/porsche-boxster-25-engine/6422461671.html

Really tempted to get this despite the fact that I don't have a need for it. I may get in trouble if more car parts appear in the garage, though.

In California you can register your car this way if you do not plan on driving it:

"If you plan to store and not operate your vehicle during the next renewal year, you may apply for the Planned Non-Operation (PNO) option online. There is a filing fee for the PNO.
The PNO filing fee may be paid up to 60 days prior to the expiration date without late fees. If you file up to 90 days after the expiration date, you will be liable for late fees on the full registration amount.
If at any time the vehicle is operated or parked where it may be subject to citation, then full registration fees and penalties for that year become due."

it also keeps your title in the system from what Im told

Thanks, good to know!

I've also seen this approach be taken on vehicle that can't registered due to either road worthiness issues or that it won't pass the smog test. I'm a former born and raised long term California native that's seen this done before so buyer beware.
