Guards Red 2000 Boxster S on Ebay. Tiptronic is slipping. It's in Monrovia, Maryland.

Seller offered to sell for $3650.

Says the Tiptronic is gone, needs to be replaced. IMS not replaced. 115630 miles.

What would a replacement Tip cost and how difficult is the swap?

What about the other issues mentioned? Need advice from tech folk.

Anybody interested in a project? I'm at mschnittker@verizon.net - Mike in Sterling, VA

"**NEEDS NEW AUTO TRANSMISSION** Does run and drive but transmission is slipping, would highly recommend trailing the car home. Replacement tiptronic 3.2 trans can be found as low as $1000 on eBay, great opportunity for a flipper or enthusiast to get into a boxster S for way under book ($8200). The 3.2 engine, boxster S brakes and 18 turbo twist wheels are worth well over $6000 by themselves, price is firm.

I’ve owned this car for about 6 months and was going to fix up but genuinely have just lost interest in the project. Strong engine, clean interior, needs some work. Below is a list of what I have found from my brief inspection of this vehicle

The good:

- runs and drives, registered, insured

- convertible top motors work great, goes up and down automatically, no issues.

- strong 3.2 engine

- Clean MD title in hand, no liens

- new drilled rotors/pads, almost no miles on tires, axles, battery, oil, spark plugs and tubes, air filters

- car cover

- original 18’ turbo twists, boxster S red calipers,

Needs

- Clean MAF sensor

- tiptronic transmission

- rear wheel bearings

- radio doesn’t work

- passenger seat power wire came loose from harness pin- needs repinned.

- bumper respray

- driver door lock cylinder has typical “spinning barrel”

Come see in Frederick MD 21704, inspections always recommended and welcome. Can do over the phone FaceTime inspection as well. As always, vehicle sold as-is."
