Thanks for all the kind words. This was the first time I've ever considered a 'REBUILT' car but now I know that there are all sorts of reason for that circumstance.
In fact, I believe this car cosmetically is as good as any 2yo car would be, it's that near perfect.
The interior is commensurate with a '99 with 60K miles (which isn't bad) everything works as it should and plastics and leather have held up well. Top is solid with light hazing on window.
The owner obviously loved it, which showed in the $4500 in recent preventative maintenance.
Overall, without the title issue I think it would be a $10K+ car as it sets, I have exactly $7500 ($6700 for car + $800 for wheel/tire upgrade).
Honestly, I can't think of a better car for $7500 anywhere!

Had a PM asking about the differences between the 2 Pcars since one was a 2.7l and this is a 2.5l
In all honesty, boxsters aren't remotely close to what I consider fast anyway - so for all intents and purposes, they are EXTREMELY similar in performance.
In fact, they are so similar that I couldn't tell the difference between the 2 cars if I was blindfolded.

no but with the right mods, none involving tinkering with engine itself, you can lighten your 2.5 Boxster down to within a few pounds of Boxster Spec racing weight, or ~2,600 lbs., but still be allowed to tinker with the car further in ways Spec doesn't allow, and on lap times it be be quick at any decently technical track. Fast enough to get a none too experienced driver up a tree. And that gearbox works better with the 2.5 motor imho.
