The clamshell usually sits like that when there's an aftermarket (glass) top on it.
Headlights look to be tinted as well.

Nowhere close to "To good to be true"
I purchase a 2 owner 1998 base with 117K miles for $4,800....in 2011.
Also purchased another 1998 base (again 2 owner) in for $4,600...in 2012.
Both clear title cars, both dirty as hell and in need of bringing basic maintenance up to date. Both cars still on the road locally as I sold to folks I know.
My price point is now $3.5-$4K for a decent 98 or 99.
Great cars BTW!

This 2015 Boxster GTS has me scratching my head. Only 1 picture, no information on options, and what seems like a very high asking price. Is a GTS automatically an "S" with 3.4 liter, 6 speed and bigger brakes? It looks like it has a dual tailpipe and yellow calipers which could mean PCCB. But if you're seriously selling this car, you need a lot more information and pictures IMHO.

To me it looks like it was either not finished or has had a few key parts stripped off. Is that the actual TechArt widebody sides? :
If I was looking, I'd buy it, then:
-Lip or replace the bumper.
-Proper wheels to fit the fenders
-Get one of Eric523's tops
-Replace the funky rear spoiler.
IMHO very likely a good deal, lots of potential. I think that Redtele58 (Rick) should get it.

Stick a hardtop on it, get some better wheels and an OEM aero spoiler and it would be kinda slick.
But yeah... I have enough projects going on right now...

Ok here's one for you... another 99 Boxster S.
Porsche Boxster
I texted the owner, nicely to say that they might want to edit their ad as there car is not an S and a more accurate description might help them with their same.
They thanked me then told me that is was an S...and text me a picture of the S on the trunk!
So I'd recommend someone buy this very rare 1999 Boxster S with 5 speed transmission, no center radiator and 4 spoke steering wheel.

You should ask him if he has paperwork documenting the engine swap to 3.2.

I agree. A little honesty and a slight price drop and it may sell..

Compared to Tip + 6 spd, I guess 5 spd is the rarest. lol
