Three Quarters of a 2002 Boxster w/ 76k mi

[WhipE350]

Budman - I'm not trying to be a wise guy. You've been a member for a long time and I see you have a Boxster with a dropped in 3.4 so you surely know your cars. Base 2002 Boxsters seem to be holding their asking price pretty good in the the $11.5k to $15k range. How does one repair this vehicle and make those numbers. You say the interior is trashed, does that mean the owner didn't put the top up during rain?

Did you get it really cheap? I would suggest too parting it out on ebay.

When I entered into this I fully assumed that this car was destined to be parted out. But, that breaks my heart because I feel like I'm cannibalizing the poor thing. So I wanted to see if anyone handy could use it as a complete car.

I just threw out $8k as a starting point to see if anyone was even interested in sending me an offer. Isn't that how it's supposed to work, start high and sell low, lol?

I've got the rear end for a 99....+ 270hp engine and trans. If you do the arithmetic and show me how it makes sense (Edmonds blu/bk) maybe we should talk.

I suppose in a perfect world. However, you have to realize that that car, as it sits, is honestly worth like MAYBE $1000, since it has no engine/trans. With no rear end, terrible interior, and being a base model, the only thing worth really any money on it, are the wheels.

That being said, you can probably get a couple thousand for the motor, and a couple for the trans.

Just part it out, and hope you got a good deal :P

It does come with an engine and transmission.
