A buddy of mine is getting close to retirement and is downsizing. He offered me first dibs on his 2005 Boxster S. ~34k, MT, overall good condition except that some idiot massively keyed his car down the entire passenger side. Since he's one of the nicest guys on the planet, it was obviously done by some pinhead who was pissed because he had a nice car.
Basic math says car (~$20k), new upgraded stereo/computer center that allows for CarPlay and a backup camera ($2500 +$1k in labor) and getting the scratch fixed (estimates range from $5-8k) put me just around $30k for a 20 year old car. It would be a reasonable deal if I didn't have to repair/repaint the scratch, but after sleeping on it for the weekend, the Wife decided that the scratch is a dealbreaker. Adding an additional $5-8k for the repair makes it a no-go.

why didn't your friend use insurance to fix the scratch???
It falls under comprehensive coverage and won't effect your rates
Some asshat keyed one of my NSX's back in in the day...luckily it was wrapped so it only ruined the a few panels of the wrap, but the insurance covered the re-wrap no problem.
I've had both a 981 Cayman S with PDK and loved it, but quickly got bored with the automatic and sold it for a graphite blue base 718 6MT....Both great cars
