I'm not interested as I love mine, but I just wanted to give you props, that's a nice looking Boxster and I bet its fun with that supercharger. I love the look of the interior.

I like your car, but it seems like it would be tough to get the money you've invested out of it. In my area, $29,000 will buy a 2000S with under 40k miles on it from CarMax. You should be able to do a little better from a private seller.

So, it will be up to an individual buyer to decide whether your car is more or less attractive than an unmodified car. For me, I would buy the 2000S and use the $5000 difference to make the modifications I wanted.

Also, your listing says the hardtop cost $4000. I think they were only about $3000 if purchased with the car. I recently bought a used one, and I think they are readlily available for $1200- $1500. A dealer offered me a new one for $2400.

Good luck with your sale.

In general, EBAY is not a place to get a high price for your car UNLESS it is very unique and rare.

Otherwise, you are simply posting along with hundreds of others.

"The chance of a lifetime?" Wow. Sell it!

You've got an NSX... That's cool! So are you keeping that?

If I didn't know you were posting this, I'd want to guess it's fake. I only say that because as an avid ebayer, I caught a red flag: Item location is San Fran. Plate on Boxster is PA... and I can't quite make it out, but the plates on the Acura owned by the seller look like NJ. Anyway, on to your question...

The more customized your car is, the smaller your market will be. Also, Brucelee makes a good point about getting a high price. It seems like eBay is good for leads, but not transactions.

The car's book value seems kinda high to me. 27k. My prediction is that the bidding will top out at just under 25k.

One of the highlights of this demon machine is it's supercharged 3 liter motor.
How 'bout a picture of that?

In spite of all the hyperbole in the ad, I think this is going to be a hard sell.
Many people are going to look at it the same way I do ... as a $35,000 hand grenade with the pin pulled.

IMHO the bore job reduces the value, the supercharger could as well depending in it's long term effects. It's a great looking car and I'm sure it's quite quick, good luck.

Let me make sure I understand, you think if this place does your motor it will reduce the value?

Are you serious?

Why hasn't the original poster responded to this or the several other posts he placed here last several days ago? I think he posted his car for sale in every domain of the forum. Pinoy, come defend your car man!!

It all depends on the buyer. Personally, I would not buy any modded Boxster so I would to me, it would reduce the value.

To others, perhaps you, that would not be the case.

On balance, once rarely if ever, regains the value of these types of mods. It happens I suppose, but I have never seen or heard of it.

Adam,
Maybe he just hasnt had time to check back.

Brucelee,
You right, it does appeal to me.
