Default Selling spy pics to magazines

A friend of a friend has some pictures of the next gen Boxster un-camo'd and I am encouraging him to try to sell it to some car magazines. Anyone done this before? How much do they pay?

Last I knew, you need to contact their media departments, and expect a couple hundred bucks for a popular car.
