If that is the only problem and the price is right, then worth a PPI.

But why is the spoiler stuck? I was hit in the rear and it was more than the bumper cover but no structure or sheet metal damage. But once they got the cover off there are shock absorbers and a crossbar that must be considered and the frame alignment. Even the straightness of the muffler pipes. Was all that done? And any deformation in the rear tub (which might account for the spoiler being stuck). Is there a very experienced with Boxsters body shop anywhere around that could give it a quick look?

How about LA adjacent? I used 911 Design in Montclair, California. Home Page 911 Design - 911 Design Allan is the head of their body shop. He patiently put up with all of my questions. Full race prep to putting my 97 back together.

moving on

Drove that car tonite, not even worth the PPI. Many things not as described, so its a clear pass for me. Thanks all for the feedback, back on the hunt for me.

Porsches grow on trees out there in California. There'll be others.

I looked at a lot before buying mine. So many looked great on paper, different story up close.
