$5k for a 3.2L rebuilt and warranted engine would make my day!
An engine that has been neglected/oil starved will probably have other issues given all the way these engines can fail.

I know that other members weren't quoting pounds, maybe my recollection is hazy but I recall doing the x1.5 math in my head and the prices still seemed much cheaper than what I've heard quoted on these forums. I think the jist of one post was that used Boxsters in general were inexpensive relative to what we pay here.
