If you have ever been hit in the rear, you appreciate the bumperettes. Get then painted body/bumper color and they fade into the background.

I've had a valet in NYC back my Boxster into a concrete garage wall right as I was watching him. Minor mark on my painted bumperette, but glad I had them for sure. The new Boxsters don't have bumperettes anymore though.

This is interesting - a 2005 987 S with a 3.8 liter 997 S engine. 34k miles and $36k price. Not crazy about the lightened flywheel.

36 Grand ???
 
Very doubtful

P-9 Discount
 
He's lowered his price to $33K on P-9.

It's a good concept to put a 911 engine in a 987, but it competes in price with 987.2s. You certainly pull for him to get his money, but like any hot rod, finding the person who thinks it's worth what the seller has in it may take a while.

PaulE 01-08-2017 03:54 AM

$36k does seem high. It sounds like the engine is stock internally and the performance items are all bolt-on and programming. If it was a Jake Raby built engine it would be a good deal.

Boxtaboy 01-08-2017 04:52 AM

For $36K, you could have that 911 engine in a 911. :) The 997S is around that price range now.

steved0x 01-08-2017 07:54 AM

2000 Toyota MR2 with Porsche Kit, 5250 or OBO or trade 4x4 or Police

1st $5250 takes it!

Porsche styling combined with Toyota reliability!

husker boxster 01-08-2017 09:52 AM

Based on Porsche emblems you can see and assuming symmetry, there must be at least 8 authentic emblems gracing MR Two. That's 8X the number on an authentic Porsche.

No doubt, but I like a mid engine car with 2 trunks and no luggage shelf disguised as a back seat! And who doesn't want more power 😃:cheers:

The authentic Porsche 4 lug bolt rims are fantastic! Lol.

The Ultra Rare Porsche Baxter
 
Never seen one before. But it's referenced in the ad as a Baxter in 3 places. Christ sakes, the O and A keys are no where close to each other. And their first pic is of the rear with the name plate clearly in view. Maybe it's an auto-correct since there is a dealership named Baxter in the area.

Maybe it's a prototype 718? :) It says it has a 4 cylinder engine but no mention of a turbo. Maybe it is a 6 with only 4 cylinders actually working. :eek:

It's ads like this that really make some owners look like morons.

$4,800 and only 78K miles??? Too good to be true???

Probably a good deal, but not "Too good to be true". Hood looks like it's grey, spoiler is up, probably not functioning, No pics of leather, but say's it's torn, clamshell is a bit off. Nice price for the miles if the engine and transmission are good, but clearly needs some TLC. Could be a great choice as a DD for a DIYer.
