Maybe I'm just getting old but $100k for a Boxster seems a little high compared to the base Boxster priced at $65k. You have a fair number of quality competitors at $100k, for example a base 911 is $100k. For $100k I personally would go for a low mileage 2009 or later Boxster S and a nice air cooled 911SC . I probably would have some money to spare.. That's just me.

Wonder if this one also comes with a find-the-engine feature where the owner can't even see the engine without  dismantling the car?
