I certainly would not say your car is not going to depreciate, however, is your $15k Boxster depreciating less than a new car, whatever it happens to be- absolutely.
In terms of the motor swaps, I don't think you can do a 3.8 for $15k, but you can definitely do a 3.6 for that. I myself am throwing the idea around of a 3.6 swap into my S while my 3.2 is still good and worth something on the parts market. If you do all your own work, and find a 3.6 for between $6k-$9k, the whole thing can be done for under $12k. However, once you do a motor swap, don't expect to get the full value out of your upgrades back when you sell it, unless you find the very rare buyer who wants exactly what you have and is willing to pay a premium for it.
