For $5,000, a 1999 Porsche Boxster Demands TLC and a Mechanic

A Craigslist listing asks $5,000 for a 1999 Porsche Boxster with 197,700 miles and a replaced engine; it starts but needs work, including an apparently failing alternator and worn suspension, and may require a long drive to reset emissions codes after repair—cheap to enter Porsche ownership only if you’re prepared for significant maintenance costs.
