How do you know?

dec2 boxeer
I got informed by a relative that a Porsche Boxster S 2005 with 40k miles with broken engine was available for 16k but is now 13k.

I'm selling a perfectly working condition 42023 miles only transmission. It's out of a 2005+ Porsche Boxster S.

So you bought a car with a broken engine and you want to sell the transmission that you say works perfectly. How do you KNOW? To quote thstone:
"The risk of buying a car without a working engine is that you have no way to verify if the other systems in the car are in good working condition (suspension, transmission, drivetrain, all electrical components, cooling, etc…)"

Serious question.

He had an IMS failure and is parting out his car. Read the other threads before you go accusing someone of selling bad parts.

Good luck Boxeer

The gearbox is in very good condition. I will take it back if you don't like it once it's mounted. It's stock transmission with 42k.

Actually, you should read the last two pages of his post. He purchased the car non-working and has never driven the transmission. Another fraud by this poster. Ban him.

My offer is $500.

You said: "The gearbox is in very good condition. I will take it back if you don't like it once it's mounted. It's stock transmission with 42k."

My offer is $500.
Who holds the money?
Who do you want to verify if it works after being mounted?

I'll hold the money for you Pierre. Get an agreement on who pays the shipping back if the transmission doesn't work and has to be shipped. If it doesn't work out, or it does and you keep it, I'll send it to the proper person. Or, have a neutral attorney hold it.
