Donated Junk: 1998 Porsche Boxster
Who donates a Porsche Boxster? Ok, I guess I’d donate a Porsche Boxster if it had a busted headlight, thrashed interior, and a bad battery…wait…NO, NO I would not donate a car that just needs a battery. Get a new battery and turn this thing into a track car or something. Find this 1998 Porsche Boxster bidding for $3750 with a few hours to go, located in Orange, CA via eBay.

Long-time Boxster owner here: It would cost exponentially more to get that thing running and looking presentable than it’s worth. They are crack if they think they can get that much for it… that’s a parts car.
