Now I see that you've had the car for sale for well over a year...
$14K is high for your car, even with the low miles.
Your ebay auction is within reason...best of luck with your sale!

Why is it so difficult?

If I had not unexpectedly purchased a 911, this car would be in my garage right now. I have talked to the owner about this car many times over the last six months and I was really set to move on it but unexpectedly a close friends 911 became available. Anyone - anyone who is remotely familiar with Boxsters would recognize the impressive and thorough amount of work that the seller has put into this car. It checks every single box of all of the ailments that are routinely discussed on this forum. And the seller has priced it correctly to sell, especially with such low mileage. You would find it very hard to duplicate this car with any other Boxster for sale of a similar vintage. Yes, you can quibble about the infamous IMS, but at the price that can probably be negotiated on this car, you could have the IMS updated and still have a fine car worth every penny of what you paid for it and it can be driven for many years to come. Frankly, I can't think of any reason why this car does not sell. And the seller is a hell of a nice guy! I do think that there is some credence that the Porsche maintenance cost reputation scares people off from a financial standpoint. But, in this case, what is left to do??? Goodness!
