-New Adjustible Front Upper Control Arms
-New Adjustible Rear Upper Control Arms
Can you explain this a little better? I have someone interested in the car, but so far, NOBODY he has spoken too can figure out what "new adjustable Upper front control arms" are, and that includes ME 
Bottom line: did you install GT3 front arms on all four corners?
Also: WHAT shocks did you use when they where replaced?

Attached below are images of which control arm is replaced with Adjustibles... They mount to the Lower control arm then mount forward to the chasis of the vehicle.
All 4 corners were replaced
The third & forth pictures are of the actual adjustible control arms.
The struts were replaced with OEM Porsche Struts, not Bilsteins or Aftermarkets.

CJ,
the mileage is scaring them away. Can you provide us with compression numbers and maybe a leak down test? I have had multiple people ask me about this car, and the common verbage I hear from them "mileage is high". I know you cant do anything about it, but even the BoxsterSpec guy's shy away from the really high mileage cars unless they can prove the engine was replaced somewhere along the line.
Have you spent ANY time under this engine? Can you get a shot/pic for me? I need to see if it has the cosmoline on it, or it has the later oil pan.

Yup I have lots of time under the car since I did all the work myself on it. Its got the original engine, I verified the engine serial numbers with Porsche and they match up. It wont be till next week for me to get pictures of the under carriage of the car since I have alot of work in the shop right now.
Ill perform a cylindar compression test when i have it up on the lift and post the results here. Since the engine runs smooth even with a solid engine mount im sure the results will be good. Ill post the pic and results on wednesday afternoon.

I have seen his car run and was lucky enough to ride in it. I have to say, he took really good care of that car. I have a 2002 Boxster and I do not think my car run as well as his. He have done many upgrade on the 97' boxster. Such as, the rear glass window and the LI-Tronics headlights like the 2002 to 2003 boxsters.
this is a great buy!!

Thanks Steve-O, Unfortunatly I decided to not sell my Boxster for financial reasons and since November was a very bad time to try and sell it since I was getting super lowball offers for $8k, Ill put her back up for sale when I can afford to purchase and maintain the P-car i desire and the buyer market is alittle stronger.

oh yay!! that is even better... now I don't have to be jealous of your car when we go out on a run.
8k?? wow! did you tell them it is not a Honda! 
that is a good reason not to sell, I thought you were going to say, "im saving up the money because I'm getting married" 
ahaha
