In my limited observations, I've observed that most non-running Boxsters go for $3,000-$4,000 at most. What kind of transmission do you have in your car? My buddy had his transmission blow up in his '97 Boxster (manual) and was able to find a used one on Craigslist for $500. I helped him put it in to his car, and while it was a lot of wrenching, its not impossible. A good indy shop would probably be able to get you patched up for $1500 or there abouts; having done that job I can't think of it taking more than 15 hours of labor to drop and install the transmission. I have no idea what the cost of a used tip-tragic is, so I can't share any data points with you there.
Whats gonna getcha, so to speak, is you now have a serious case of the "while you're in theres" in regards to now would be a great time for a new clutch, IMS, IMS-DOF kit, etc... That will run a tab faster than a drunk kid on spring break with his dad's credit card.
Good luck and nice car!!
