update...
I picked up the car last weekend. It's no longer hypothetical - I now have a "free" 2002 Porsche Boxster base 5-speed. I get the report back from the local independent mechanic next week.
It drives at least... turns out it has 110K miles.
So far I've found these issues:
1. squeaks when wheel turns all the way left.
2. brakes pulse -- perhaps a warped rotor?
3. air conditioning doesn't
4. front & rear fenders are shot. Front one will absolutely need replacing.
5. check-engine light on (still need to read code).
6. cannot hold gas pump fill-up nozzle on -- "clicks" off all the time. have to fill *very* slowly.
7. right turn signal non-functional
8. 2003 glass-window top, but not fit well.
9. rear defrost doesn't work. Maybe not hooked up?
10. trunk/frunk liners missing snap-fittings.
11. Two keys, only one works -- other sets off alarm.
12. and many, many other cosmetic issues.
Well - the price was right. Let's see how much this free car will cost me :-)
