I just hate seeing clean cars go for under 10k. Hope you can get closer to what you want for the car.

Personally I don't think there are any mechanically sound Boxsters or water-cooled Carreras being sold for less than $15K unless the previous owner "donated" a great deal of DIY labor and expects only to recover the cost of new parts. OTOH If someone is asking above market then I expect to see a long list of repairs that were addressed. There's a middle ground there that has to be met if you're an informed buyer.

for my 98 base boxster, and it was mechanically sound and near perfect. Only thing that needed fixed was the 02 sensor. Which I already had done.

He was asking close to 9k, but I offered 8k cash. He bit. Runs great, only 72k miles. Everything works the way it's supposed to.

Not trying to be a contrarian, but that's the market (at least near me) right now. I just saw one near me post for 7k the other day. 101k miles, just had a tuneup and running well according to the ad.
