When I hear someone wants to drop 50K on a Boxster, I always wonder why you have not considered a 911 model or a used Boxster first. If you do a search on Autotrader.com on Boxsters within so many hundred miles of your location, you will see drastic discounts for used models. Boxsters are not well known for retaining value. You can pick up a nice 2002S with low mileage for 25K and under and still have a bundle in your pocket for a very nice older 911 (1983 - 1988). Overall the 911 will hold its value over the years, while the Boxster value will head south, fast!

Not to try to discourage you from your choice, in todays economy with Porsche sales going down like every other premium car manufacturer, I guess you can really name your price or terms these days. I would not just look at the local P-dealer, but all around the country for the best deal.

Your right to wheel and deal here because you have the advantage, especially if it is a cash sale. I would not be reluctant as a buyer to use every trick I can muster to get the car I want at a very fair if not deeply discounted price although Porsche will bend so far.

Take a look at the Boxster used market. You'll be surprised on what kind of fantastic buys are out there and cars still under warranty.

Good luck
