That actually doesn't bother me any more. Even the Donks and the BroDozers don't bother me much. They aren't my first choice for car mods, I don't understand the urge or the thought process, but I'm OK with that.
Different strokes, different folks.
I don't get it. What am I supposed to be outraged about?
Is it just that the wheels are red?
30 minutes in a bead blast cabinet and problem solved for wheels. My question is whether the pcm is currently dead or previously dead. Guessing currently dead, which puts it about 3k over priced in my mind and in the same category of ads that say "just needs a battery" to run.
I'm glad that it's a Porsche and wasn't boxer misspelled.
Maybe if the car was red ...
I like it.

That was my fear coming in, but I trusted that this was GRM, and that the odds favored a car.

Have you ever bead blasted powder coat from wheels? 30 minutes and ONE WHEEL will ne dull. That's it
There's this stuff:
but don't get it on your hootus.
after seeing some cars id consider nice and valuable derbied i really dont care what people do with there own cars anymore. as long as im not paying for it, feel free!
The car runs though? I mean, we can assume this thing had an IMS bearing replacement at some point, and it's $5k?
If the above is correct, it's making me wish my life was more in order, as it seems like the perfect excuse to do a slow rolling rebuild over the next, what, 9 months? A membership on the Pelican Parts forum for interior bits and a set of wheels, etc... Maybe I'm missing something but $5k for the car and $5k in bits and a lot of tedious tinkering should make this into a pretty good deal on an early Porch. I mean Porsche.
I notice the ad says "Rebuild Title"...
I'm far more offended at his continued use of "needs replaced", "needs adjusted" (, etc.) than any stylistic choices on the car itself. And hey, cheap Boxster!
I like it as much as any boxster. At least its not silver. Last I check, the wheels can be changed.
Red wheels are easily changed. Agreed.
I was more put off by the lack of caring shown to the interior. Guess I exaggerated the extent of the abuse. Apologies.
Here, this one's worse... 
I'm actually wondering what those wheels would look like on a red car with some deep gloss black racing stripes. I bet that could be pulled off. It's a shame they don't have a full silver lip.
He is pretty darn proud of the wheels, isn't he? nine pictures, eight with the wheels displayed, one interior, ...
Count me in the "Not a fan" of the weird color wheel fad. Guy I know had a white Lexus Camry thing with lime green alloys of some sort. No.
In reply to oldtin:
Says "Runs fine" and doesn't say "needs" in front of "computer replaced".
I'm not a fan of any part of those wheels; too tall for the car, too red, ugly anyway. There are some Fuchs knockoffs around that would fix this issue for about a grand tops for all four. M030 here on the forum had a Boxster on phone dials and I'd rock that as well if 16" jobs could be sourced for non-stupid money.
It is a tired car but I think it's priced right. Others that know these cars better would maybe think different.
I don't see anything in those pics that would make me pissed off. The red wheels on a black car work for me (Better than the metallic blue wheels on red cars, or metallic purple wheels on BMW Phoenix Yellow cars, that seemed to be all the rage on the Honda scene). Sure the black leather seats are cracked, but they are black leater seats in a convertible that is pushing 20 years olds, I'd be more surprised if they didn't look like they'd been mauled by a bear. Paint looks kinda rough but once again, it's possibly 18 years old in places.
Good price. I like it. Repair the interior, powder coat the wheels gray (or don't) and drive it.
R title porsche?
Sounds like a wonderful buy to me.
No, no, the "R" means it's a Racing model and super duper fast!
