So I have a lead on a Gen 1 Boxster being offered for under $5k.
Yes I know the old saying that a cheap Porsche is an expensive Porsche. But my thought here was what if I take my time to build this thing into a autocross and DE machine?
Keep in mind I've always tracked my relatively stock 996 (suspension, brakes, and exhaust have been upgraded but all else stock) so it's not like I'll be going from a prepped race car to a street model.
Given this position, is it even worth considering something this cheap? Supposedly it runs and is mostly cosmetically challenged. But of course at this price I'm sure there are some other hidden surprises.
What does everyone think?
