Phoenix Boxster, 2000, no engine, $1500

I would buy this and drag it home, but alas, no room to store it.

SIGH!

The clear bra that's all cracked up is a liability. Is it possible to remove it without ruining the paint?

I rather like the colour.
Guess you’d have to see it in person but the damage doesn’t look too extreme.

I'm betting it's a bait car add. There's all kinds of similar adds down here with wrecked muscle or exotic cars for sale. I don't think it's a ploy to steal from you outright but more lure you into using their services to find one. Basically they're a middle man for the insurance auctions.

By the time you got it fixed, you'd have the cost of a '13 base 981 into it. Yes, it's an S but it would have a branded title. Think I'd rather have a base 981 with a good title.

Want an instant headache?

This has to be one of the worst written ads I've ever seen. I felt dumber for reading it.

Here is a z-top 97 Boxster. It looks like the clamshell lines have been filled in, so the z-top is not reversible without paint and bodywork. The $20k asking price seems pretty high to me.

On the black TA, the ad says "some parts are missing from the car" near the bottom of the ad. He is selling this on the basis of the build sheet for someone to wan to restore it to match.

That is a great ad! Most entertaining I’ve seen this week (‘paint color: custom’)

I was thinking the same thing, they want you to call.
