Went to look at a Boxster S yesterday , come to find out it is a RSB 340 with a 3.6 and short mileage . does anyone know about these cars? and what they are worth ? I am going to drive it today and possibly trade-in my 01 boxster. just not shure of the conversion the rest of the car looks like it was done well . Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jason

What year is the car? If it is a real 340, you have come across a very rare car. Take the VIN number and like anytime you are looking at buying a boxster, it needs to have a PPI done, but in addition to this, I would also call Roock in Atlanta to verify credentials.

Roock AutoSport, Inc.
2310 Marietta Blvd NW
Atlanta GA 30318
Off 404.352.8000
Toll Free 888.301.9440

As far as value, I would think this would be a pricey pre owned car to purchase, but it really depends on the mileage and overall condition. Whoever owns it must know what they have so doubt it will go cheap.

These Roock modifications were well over 25k back in the day and a 340 would have been their flagship model. If it's in good condition and you can get it for a decent price, I would be all over that.

Claimed 0-60 on these were 4.8s with top speed in the 180 territory.

If you can, post up some picts.

On a reply post, go to "manage attachments". Click it and it will open up another box and you specify a target directory where the picture is located on your hard drive. The picture needs to be downsized though so it will upload correctly.

And yes, Good luck. I would love to see this car and know what they are selling it for.

because if the Porsche dealer is having trouble selling it now, imagine what you trying to sell it later will be like. Not to mention where will you get it fixed. What parts are no longer available. Etc. Have a long talk with Roock. Also your insurance agent.
