Agree with all about more pics. Keep #5 and get rid of the rest. As others have said - don't take a pic into the sun. Take pics with the sun, then turn the car around so you get the other side in the proper sun.

You're in SoCal. Get a pic at sunset by the ocean. Living the dream, etc.

The pic you have of it at the mechanic makes me think "what's wrong with it". Leave that one out.

Take pics of the side bolsters of the driver's seat. Good or bad, people want to see the condition.

Have the car running and take a pic of the instrument panel to show no cel lights (be sure to put your seat belt on so that light isn't on).

Your 2003 has 3 features over older Boxsters - a glove box, a glass rear window, and de-ambered headlights & tail lights. Might want to add those into your ad narrative.

And finally - add a line at the end about not needing assistance to sell the car. This prevents all the stupid people who call you and want you to fork over $500 so they can sell your car on CL, AutoTrader, etc. All the places you already have ads. It can be as simple as I do not need assistance selling this fine automobile.
