I'm not going to sell you the car for $8k because you tell me that 1999 base Boxsters are $8k cars.

I am not saying a base is worth the same as a fully optioned car. While subtle, we are talking about the same thing. Options and condition matter more than MSRP. While More Options = higher MSRP, the MSRP by itself is rather meaningless for an older used car because depreciation is not straight-line and value is determined by many factors.
