I've been mulling over and 996 or 986/7 for a while. Most of the better deals appear to be on the east and west coast. Not as much selection in the Midwest.

Locally I just found a non-working 2001, 2.7L Boxster with 80,000 miles but with a salvage title. Asking price is $4,000. The pictures don't show accident damage, I'm going to call about the salvage title.

I'm a DIY kind of guy this could be an interesting project or a nightmare. If I put in a new engine it will still carry the stigma of a salvage title.

Thoughts?
