This is a very old lesson relearned. If you own a house you are always much better off selling it "as is" than after making a lot of expensive upgrades. We happened to do the right thing when selling our first house, the neighbors couldn't believe how much we got for it and regretting making their expensive additions and renovations.

Buying a used M96 Boxter is a lottery, You may do great, but you may also have to spend $10K for a new engine after a few weeks or months of enjoyment. If you can't afford a $10K curve ball you need to look for something else.

Sorry that you had to learn the hard way.
