2003 boxster blown engine :( $6500 ca

Yesterday while driving this boxster which i just bought 2 months ago, and thought was bullet proof since its got a ton of service records & IMS retrofit - Kaboom,,,its DONE..all of a sudden engine died and there was oil under the car..described issue to Jake Rabbi and he tells me "The engine has suffered a camshaft/ lifter failure. This is a common mode of failure for a 2003 Boxster. The piece of cam cover was ejected after the lifter failed and was shot through the cam cover"

Cost to fix $5,000-$6,000 i'm not putting that into this car obviously since i was planning on reselling it in the first place and not keeping it-

The good news out of this is i didn't sell the car to who would have been a very sad buyer if it would have blew on them in 2,000 miles...better me then them is how i look at it!

Anyways here is the original ad of the car with pics - I've got a little over $10,000 into the car would like to get around $6500, is that even possible?

plz email me if interested tarek307 at hot mail. c om
