Interesting, it is a 2003, yet it has headlights and wheels from an earlier year Boxster, and seats from a 987/997. I wonder what else has been cobbled up in the car to keep it going that isn't easily seen.

My thoughts exactly!

Probably repaired by a non-Porsche enthusiast who doesn't know the difference between an 03, 01, and 05 Boxster. Looking at that one pic of the front bumper, it appears the paint is cracking. Probably needed a bumper and headlights that were pulled from a 986.1. The tail lights are 986.2.

Did you notice the discrepancy with the VIN? Looks like they left a digit off in their verbiage. Not a smart idea.

Could this be a Wheeler Dealer tiptronic low on fluid? For that price, would be worth the chance.

Tom's probably high-tailing it out to Palm Dessert right now to grab that 2.7.

I’d bet it’s a theft recovery tossed back together with whatever could be found.

Not much information about the car but that sounds like one badass engine it has in it

It looks like they got the add right in your area but got it mixed up with another scam add in mine. There's probably an add out there for a 69 Camaro with a 2.7 porsche boxster motor in it. lol
