2000 Porche Boxter!
I was just about to post this yesterday. Before I clicked 'post', I decided to check it out.


Long story short: It probably wasn't worth the $4,500, so I got it for a bit less.
- 90% certain the oil leak is AOS
- Steering rack leak
- Cheap knock off wheels
- Burnt headlights
- Body & paint 3/10 (Hood impact to windshield damage and bad paint job)
- Interior 5/10
- Starter squeal

Its going to be a spring project. Maybe do a Woody style build®, or maybe just clean it up.

Always love hearing about cheap finds because of a bad AOS. I got one at an auction that was a dealer trying to pass off what they thought was a car with a bad engine. I don't feel too sorry for people who think their boxster is shot because of a bad AOS. Five minute google search will tell you what's wrong.
