But I have some criteria:
I'm turning 60 in a few months and retiring (i.e. getting rid of the appliance commuter car and getting a fun car) in two years so 996's will have come down a bit by then.

As much as I love the top down experience my ownership of the Miata cured me of that (blond, blue-eyed, balding, middle age dude doesn't need the sun beating down on his head,)

And I'm noting Cayman's are dipping into the $20K range (however at +60 I may be more into a GT ride than a sports car).

Sorry for the hijack... back to Boxster prices.

I think Boxster prices will bottom out at about $10k or so, you're really hitting about rock bottom for even a basic transportation appliance. The 996 will always be more because it's a 911. So I doubt you'll ever see a decent 996 for $10k.
