eBay Find of the Day: Poor man's Porsche "Carrera GT" Boxster
So many things are possible thanks to the wonders of eBay. Tea with Nelson Mandela? No problem. Ferrari Enzo? Sure, you can have one, and you can even get one with a 26-year-old woman tacked onto the deal.
Needless to say, we aren't surprised to come across a Porsche Boxster with a Carrera GT bodykit -- recessed doors, power hardtop convertible, Tiptronic (or "Triptonic," if you look at the auction listing), and just 16,000 miles on it. It also sports new rims worth $6K. The seller is moving to Hawaii, lucky dog, and has "too many cars," as if there is any such thing.
With a reserve of over $50,000 we're not exactly expecting a blowout, but it is a cool knock-off for significantly less than a bona-fide Carrera GT -- and with Porsche engineering, still. Place your bids here.
Thanks for the tip, Zac!

Stock Boxster look better than this, and is a respectable enough car to not need this kind of rebodying. Looks especially clumsy with the hard top on. And it's an automatic.

Why go through all that trouble and then not get the wheels even close to right?

Erin, maybe the 'Triptonic' refers to the beverage needed to enjoy such a vehicle....

What a clown.
Reminds me of something totally poseur-ish I saw last night: a Cayman with a tiptronic. What the f^ck kind of idiot buys a Cayman with a craptronic transmission? Does this idiot date Jessica Simpson and insist she wear a chastity belt too?!

The Boxster/Cayman is one of the most gorgeous and envy-inducing cars on the road, so I don't understand the desire to change it....but this is still better-looking than that Smart-Porsche thing that was posted way back

There's a lucky guy in Ann Arbor who drives a real Carrera GT around the town sometimes. Everytime I see it, makes me depressed...
