Some folks will stop at nothing to get the used car they want. When that car is a Porsche Boxster, buyers may have to search several used car lots in order to get a great deal. But even the biggest discount probably doesn’t compare with the deal that 17-year-old Steven Ortiz got on his Porsche.

Ortiz used the “barter” feature on Craigslist to make swaps that eventually landed him the Porsche over a period of two years, according to the Whittier Daily News. Starting with an old cell phone that a friend gave him, he traded up for a slightly better phone, then parlayed that into an iPod Touch.

The iPod got him a dirt bike, leading to several slightly better dirt bikes, which he eventually used to get a MacBook Pro. He then traded the MacBook for a used Toyota 4Runner.

But since Ortiz was only 15 at the time, he had no use for the car. So he traded it for an expensive golf cart, which he used to eventually get himself a motorcycle. The motorcycle proved the key to swapping for a used Ford Bronco.

Some enthusiasts consider particular models of used Ford Broncos to be collectibles – and Ortiz’s 1975 Bronco was probably worth about $15,000. One user was willing to swap his 2000 Porsche convertible for it, and now Ortiz has the nicest car in school.

With a little determination and patience, folks can find a great deal on the used car they desire as well.
