Do you think this will buff out? 2014 Cayman S

Seriously, do you think the math works on this? Seems like a similar car with no damage and a clean title would cost around $60k. This car needs a front bumper and hood, front wheel, tires, right rear suspension and maybe a rear bumper at a minimum. And with something like this there are always a few surprises discovered once repairs begin. What do you think it would cost to fix and how much less would it be worth with a salvage title?

Why?

Not sure why you'd spend the time, effort, and $$$ building this.

OMG that has to be the most expensive '93 Delta 88 on this planet. Wow. I personally wouldn't give him a nickle for that POS.

I had the same car, white Delta 88 with red velour interior. Super comfy, and whereas it was free (Parents were pissed at the dealer for only allowing $500 for it as a trade-in so they gave it to me), it was one of only two automatics I ever had. So comfortable, so large, so smoke-scented. Many a night was spent cruising with with my girlfriend in the front, and 15-18 friends stretched out in the back. We were kings.

That car brings a new meaning to the word 'sleeper'. O sure it goes like Hell but, imagine that thing in a turn on a bench seat no less.

You're right, I was a little harsh. I was harsh in my typo because I gave it too much credit and called it a '93 and not the '83 it is. But to be honest, I hate that car. I had a shop teacher that drove one when I was in HS and he would pull us off our legitimate project work to work on it almost every week. That red crush velvet interior is still stuck in my head.

Here's a Very nice Porshe Boxter. It has the V-6 turbo, 4-WD, and all the other options.

If Eddie Munster had a P-car, it might have looked something like this.

Missing sunroof but a non-sunroof headliner to solve the problem. Yeah, right. Guess it never rains in southern California.

Not recently. We are having a cold snap. It is going to be in the low 80's for the next several days. And it is overcast this morning. Damn coastal clouds.

turbo, spyder, ...right.

Maybe I'm just a bit too skeptical. I'm guessing that this is just an 04 base that had some front end damage and got an aftermarket front bumper, thereby making it a "Boxser turbo".
Boxser turbo

Still, it appears to be a decent 04 with 64k miles, so not terrible.

I wonder if he swapped the IMS when replacing the clutch.. "Lots of new parts like new turbo front end!" Heh..

https://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/cto/5733675068.html anyone seen this? Thoughts? There has to be a reason it hasn't sold yet.. Maybe it just needs a new driver side seat or to have re upholstery done? (And obvious $5000 Boxster maintenance "surprises")
