I normally change cars every year, but my current one is making it tough on me to find a replacement under 40 000$....

A 2002 911 cab might be the answer
It totally depends on what you're looking for.

Most Lotus cars and older air cooled Porsches are more visceral than modern Porsches. 1st and 2nd gen Miatas with the right suspension can also be alot more intimate and entertaining than a Boxster, even though they're slower, although with a Flyin' Miata turbo, not much slower.

You'd have to try a newer Carrera, I don't like them as much as the Boxsters, they feel heavier and less responsive but everyone has their own opinions.

It's hard to move up when you're already at the top. In the words of Mell Brooks, "It's good to be the King"
