So Porsche NA sold a special edition/specially modified Boxster for the MSRP of a no frills Boxster. Forget the cost and mods necessary to stuff a 3.6 Carrera engine into that chassis! !!! Yet they won't give a price break on a Boxster S. No badges....(I take it you actually viewed the engine...no...). Sounds like he fed you some real BS...with a shovel.
