$11K for a 70K mile Boxster S... sounds like 'break even' means he can't spend more than $3K if he hopes to make a profit flipping it.

$3K would not have covered my repairs last year and none were engine rebuilds.

That's exactly where I was going, mechanic or not rebuilding a Porsche engine is going to unfortunately set him back a bit more than break even. I had my 911 engine rebuilt in 1991 on a low budget for $4500.00, unless he keeps it for himself, this will be a loss.
