Nice car. How do the radiators handle the bigger engine ? I have wondered about that since it looks like there is no center rad.

Please don't be stingy about test drives. Let the folks you feel good about drive it when they come look. Passion and emotion are good tools to use when selling a car like this. When we sold our first Boxster, I insisted the lookers take it for a ride. Some folks declined and some took the drive. I don't think the person who bought it would have if I had not insisted they take it for a drive. They took it for 4 drives that day. With me, with their son and then with the girlfreind. SOLD!

Being a buyers market, I got lots of calls but nobody came to look until my price went down 15% from my beginning asking price. That is when folks started coming out to look at it. It only took the third person to test drive to sell it. For me it was worth the risk. It was fully insured.

A quick scan of Auto Trader shows many 2003 Boxster S models in your area with similar miles having asking prices of mid teens to mid 20's. Of course there should be some value to the recent conversions. The down side to conversions is often much of the money you spent for the mods will not come back to you in the sale price. A good portion of the money spent on mods never really does. It is just the price you pay for your fun. You may want to keep the car for another year or two. Make it a daily driver an really enjoy it.

It is certainly a nice car. I know I'd like to drive it. Good Luck.

Bill.
