I can see why the prices are low, it seems to be a slow market for boxsters right now.. Mine has been for sale for a while and I've only had two serious buyers call me... Lots of the "I'll send you a money order for $3000 over..." scams, as well as people who just message with "Is the car in perfect shape, what's your bottom line?" (same scammers, just a different opening).. I figured @ $13,900, it would be attractive to someone looking to get into the PCar market, of course, I'd expect the same for all the cars going under $20k, too...

Meh, I don't mind driving my car for a bit longer, though

If they were not so expensive to repair, a low cost 97 or 98 with a set of wheels and other little blink would be a very cheap way to look good.

I guess the repair costs would drive me off though.
