Geez, Gerry, you scared me there for a second
I did a quick check on AutoTrader. There are 231 - 1999 Boxsters for sale in the US with an average price of $16,719
There are 81 - 1999 Boxsters for sale in the US with a manual transmission and under 60k miles with an average price of $18,238
I bought my car for $22k two years ago with 28k miles.
I have put 24k miles on my car so far, and it has depreciated $4k
I don't think that's too bad
Something about the price of that car in San Mateo doesn't make sense...
I did find one cheaper, though :
