The 2.5L is overpriced. Biggest concern is that the owner seems to be avoiding clearly stating where the "0 mile" replacement engine came from.

The 3.4L is also overpriced although it depends how much a 3.4 engine is worth to you. How many miles on the 3.4 engine? Who did the conversion? Any DME/CEL issues? With all of the performance mod's (engine, suspension, wheels, clutch), you can be sure that this car was driven hard.

The economy has tanked, Porsche made tons of Boxsters, and there a LOT of them for sale. Its a big time buyers market. Shop around extensively, there is no reason to overpay.
