Tough question actually. What do you think it will cost you to put your engine/tranny into the Boxster? What would you value the car to be worth afterwards?

If the tranny in the 05 is good it is worth ~$2K. I don't know how you'd be able to determine the tranny condition of the car since it isn't running. Of course, it is most likely just fine.

I do agree that $13K may be too much if you were to replace the engine with another Porsche (used) engine. You would likely end up with over $20K in the car, where as I've seen 05 S Boxsters selling for $24-26K.

Best of luck with your project (if you take it on)!
