Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Hey all, I have a 99 porsche boxster that recently blew a head gasket. I don't have the money or time to replace/rebuild the engine. It runs, but also all of the brakes need replacing (pads & rotors). Otherwise the car is in great condition, I took care of it. What is my best course of action here? I've never sold a car before (or scrapped/donated one either). I'm hoping to get a couple grand out of it for parts, but have no idea what it's worth and to whom. Any advice is much appreciated, especially how much $ I should ask for it.
