They say it's just four bolts and the engine drops right down, just like the old Volkswagen Bug.Just wait until you need to change the belt......
Get aircooled. Old school.
Is it really a Porsche if it is not aircooled?
Pennsylvania? Not exactly down the street.Good low-mileage 2000. Only two owners.

I’m finding that from 6.5-9k the cars get two to three years newer and lower in mileage. IMS bearing remains a hypothetical issue. Porsche went away from it in 2005.

Why the hell would I fly out there and drive it back instead of just having a company ship it here?Nope. But there’s a Porsche dealer in the same town. You tell the seller you’re interested contingent on a dealer inspection either at their cost or you splitting it with them. If it passes, you spend $150.00 on a one-way plane ticket, and you drive the Boxster back to Florida.
No more than $300.00 out of pocket to get a nice clean car.
I’ve got alerts out to a couple sites. Not getting much feedback.

It's over budget and thousands of miles away. Those are some very large boxes that aren't checked. But I appreciate your help anyway.That’s your call. It’ll cost $800-900 to flatbed it to Port St. Lucie. That’s 11-12% of the purchase price. Was looking out for your costs plus going up there gives you the chance for a visual inspection before you commit. I’d get it inspected at a Porsche facility regardless.
Looks like a nice little car, checks all the boxes.

There used to be a guy in Winter Park for many years named Nort Northam(?) and he specialized in selling and servicing used Porsche and other Euro. stuff. He also raced Porsche and seemed like a pretty good guy(he was a customer of mine when I sold shop supplies) not sure if he's still there but he had been in business for years and I never heard anyone speak badly of him....
I think he sells mostly on consignment but I haven't been there in 15 years....I used to have a major hard on for AC Cobras(replicas) and I still do if I can fit my big ass into one and he was one of the few places where you could actually see one up close....I know you're a Porsche guy, did you ever meet him or talk to him? He seems likable and the Winter Park crowd I grew up with loved the guy.Nort Northam Collection. He’s got some clean cars, some older cars, and a dump or two.
