Default OT: Teen swaps old cell phone for Porsche on Craigslist
Seventeen-year-old Steven Ortiz is fairly sure he is the only student at Charter Oak High School who drives a convertible Porsche to school.

Very nice. Many parents would have also swapped their teen for an old cellphone. I don't have any, but I was at my sister's house and thought it was invaded by homeless people. All I heard was "can I have some money, I'm hungry can I have some food, leave my stuff alone, etc.

I think I just saw pictures of a Boxster S that a guy said he got for his 16-yr-old daughter.
Good trade!!!

Steven made 14 online swaps over two years to get his 2000 Porsche Boxster S.
He got offered all manner of trades - including a locksmith business - for the Bronco. The Porsche, worth about $9,000, was actually a trade down.

Dear Lord.

LOL He's now saying he is probably going to trade the Porsche Boxster for a Cadillac Escalade since the maintenance costs are so high on the Porsche. Oh yeah? Just wait. And the Cadillac drinks gas like water. I can tell the kid really knows what he is doing.


Typical 16 year old common sense. Very little..........



He should have kept the Bronco.

I'll trade you my 77 Bronco and 95 C4 for $45k cash and I will include a spare set of Cup II's with practically new Hankook Ventus tires. Mention promotion # BNCOPORS77993 and I will also include a set of steak knives.
