I have a good lead on a car that has to be picked up this weekend. I am working now through next Tuesday, so I can't get it myself until next Wednesday at the earliest. I'm looking for someone to pick it up locally and hold it for me until I can get there. I'll arrange to pay online probably as soon as you can get eyes on it.

Help!!!!

I've had deals like this before with no one local.  If you are willing to buy sight unseen, I've had a local tow company pick up the car and take it to a local storage place that I've already paid for storage.  Just as a last resort thing.

Oh and might want to ask to get this moved to the main forum.  It'll get more eyes that way.

Message spacedet and see what he's up to. Shenanigans like this are right up his alley.

I just got it worked... trading a hard top to a friend in Lawton, Ok. He picks the car up and we meet next week.

$1,000 running Boxster. May have to change my Challenge plans.

Thanks

When I decide to get stupid and scratch my P itch I might ask you to find me a throw away one like that.

If you need to scratch a p itch, you might need to see a doctor. They got creams for that.

There's always a few around that sit on FB market at $3k and 'need TLC'. Those can get ugly. This is a 2000 Boxster Base. Seller has been busy and is moving out of state in a couple days and needed it gone. I texted him as soon as he posted it on the 986 Forum. I really feel like a lottery winner with this one. It might need a little work, but under 100k miles, engine was rebuilt 10 years ago after overheating (~50k  miles since), a few nice updates and extra parts included. I was in a panic to figure out how to get it before someone else grabbed it. From the ad:

The good:
-New front pads and rotors (Done at Zim's)
-New CV boots (also at Zim's)
^^(Unfortunately this cost more than I'm selling the whole car for)
-Doesn't overheat even in Texas - I put in a 160 thermostat
-Has some extras: 996 throttle body, 996 shifter, underdrive pulley, secondary cat bypass pipes, 160 thermostat, the cool headlights that were being sold on here, LED taillights with originals in a box...probably some more stuff I'm forgetting.
-Has the Porsche factory airbag bypass installed so you can deactivate passenger airbags for kids to ride

The bad:
Convertible top stuck up
Check engine light with smoky exhaust as mentioned
2 keys, but remotes stopped working a while back and I never dealt with it (I think it was after disconnecting the battery for something)
Probably some other minor stuff in keeping with a 20 year old car

I also have some stuff in the garage that can go with the car - M030 sway bars I never put on, Vogtland sport springs, some random boxes of stuff from Pelican Parts....
