I doubt he ever saw the answers.

But, I have to add that Boxters and Porsches in general cost a LOT to own. I have a 2000 non S that cost 40K used at 2 years old, has 58K on the speedo now, and the latest round of repairs cost $4200 (preemptive water pump, A/C and broken motor mount).

On the best day ever in Boxster sales value, that's a 3rd of the car's price. Closer to 1/2 in reality.
