Rolling on some 30's......

Can not un-see that

I bought this back in November. The seller took $1200 for it. It has 128K miles and runs well. It was stuck in 2nd gear, had no reverse, the top had broken plastic ball joints and a handful of other cosmetic issues. I drove it 14 miles home and around the neighborhood tinkering for a few months then let it sit until recently. I yanked the transmission, replaced a sheared selector shaft pin, poked around and now I'm getting ready to pop the transmission back in. I suspect I'll have a daily driver for well under $1800 when I'm done.

Sometimes the risk really pays off. Hope it does for you!

As I have said a number of times here, the Boxster is a car of great risks and huge rewards!

Not a Boxster, but a 917 kit car:

I'm tempted to buy one of these and either try to fix, or if all else fails part it out so I can take one apart.

I parted out a 1992 Mercedes 500SL a couple years ago and made 8k net. I've never done a boxster though. I'm not sure how much you can get parting out. It's a great way to get to know how everything fits together though. What do you think?

My opinion, the early 1980s were not good years for American cars. Luckily most examples have long since been crushed and turned into Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas. Here is one that manged to survive as a shinning example of 1980s USA automotive prowess:

Is this the most un-Boxster Roadster possible?

For what it is, it actually looks very well done. ...for what it is.

[Pdwight]

That is the oddest steering wheel I have seen. One of my good friends had one of these, he got it when he was 16 in high school....to say it is in terrible condition now is an understatement

Yes, it looks like the designers did their best to avoid curves:


I expect that the driver's did best to avoid curves as well.

B1tchen' Cah-Mare-Ah!!!

That is if you can't obtain a '79 Z28 a la Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

Been looking for an awesome spot to play all my old Def Leppard tapes. This just might be the ticket since I pulled all the Realistic head units from my other cars - LOL.

Great find and yes, well done for what it is/was.

Here are some black Speedster Humps for $600 on Craigslist in the Albany, NY area -

https://albany.craigslist.org/pts/6183925045.html

sometimes people are looking for these.

[911monty]

Not mine and not for a Boxster, BUT seems like a pretty good deal if you have a 996 coupe.

[Anker]

This looks like a really good deal!

Nicely optioned car... PSM & Lits. The interior looks fantastic, Savannah can be a pain to keep nice looking.

Too bad it's black. **

** Can't stand the colour myself, apologies to black fans everywhere. :chicken:

[BruceH]

It's a 1997 6 Speed....not a bad deal though for a '97 after some negotiating with only 55,xxx miles.

Too good to be true; way below market value. But hey, with all the warning lights on the dash (TPMS, CEL, ABS, brakes, (!) who knows what?), how bad can it be? (Hint: real bad)

Finally, and we ALL seen ads like this before, if the car ONLY needs a $175 AOS, why not have it replaced and list the car for $1000 more?

Just sayin'..............

He likely has the key in the on/acc position but has not started it.
