I have an sc . it could be worth 20 but it would have to be absolutely perfect. I would say 14 is more realistic
Is it a canadian car ? If US offer less as its grey market and brought in cheaper
Just go on autotrader to get an idea.
It would all depend on a ppi also.
Also you should know the sc is NOT the daily driver the boxster is.
What year is the Boxster ?
The wheels should be fuchs. Not surd what should be on them you should post a pic but 16s 7s and 8s would be ideal

The wheels look like 6x16 in the front and 7x16 in the back. They are the stock Fuchs though I'm not sure if 16's were available in 1982. Nice color. It makes me think of the darker 1980 weissach edition. The front lip is an add on that shouldn't be there without a matching tail and the scoop on the front bumper isn't stock. Anyway, welcome to Rennlist.

I would echo iceman and say that the car is definitely priced high. 14-16 is a more realistic price point. Depending what year the Boxster is, a straight-trade might work out for you. I'd certainly take the SC over the Boxster
Can't comment on the stance, but I'm sure someone else will chime in with proper ride heights.
If you want to get fiberglass bumpers that change the look a bit there are some companies (Getty Designs is one) that make them in the style of the earlier cars (such as the Carrera RS). Quite a few styles to choose from, and they make tails too. You can definitely cut a lot of weight using them, although in my opinion the styling is better suited for the earlier cars - I like the stock bumper look on mine.
