I wrote mid-year OR SC. I was referring to the '74-'77 models that still tend to be reasonably priced.

I regret selling my SC, but it had to go to pay for the 993. The 993 is now the car I owned the longest in my life ...

If you spend $10k on a Boxster you're not going to lose much, if any, value. You can find nice cars in that price range, with the S being a little more. The best thing about the Boxster is their newer age, it's easier to find one that hasn't been neglected. Though I agree about the air cooled 911 not losing money, I suspect they are all going to continue appreciating.
