Probably repaired by a non-Porsche enthusiast who doesn't know the difference between an 03, 01, and 05 Boxster. Looking at that one pic of the front bumper, it appears the paint is cracking. Probably needed a bumper and headlights that were pulled from a 986.1. The tail lights are 986.2.

Did you notice the discrepancy with the VIN? Looks like they left a digit off in their verbiage. Not a smart idea.

Could this be a Wheeler Dealer tiptronic low on fluid? For that price, would be worth the chance.

Tom's probably high-tailing it out to Palm Dessert right now to grab that 2.7.
