That car has some nice options. Full leather, Xenons and the deviated stitching are items I wish I had on my car. The asking price would have been extraordinarily low three years ago when I bought my car. Times have changed though.

Check out the "cars for sale" on PPBB. Here's a 2001 that probably went for less than $14,000. http://www.ppbb.com/phorum/read.php?13,1553128,1553818#msg-1553818 That car had a new glass-window top, but the car you describe has some features the one on PPBB does not. Also look at eBay and check the prices on cars that sold.

Speed yellow is a little "flashy" for some folks, so that may affect future resale. Another factor is your location. Are you in an area where Boxsters are relatively plentiful, or do you live in an area where the climate causes folks to store their sports cars in the winter? If demand is low and/or supply is high you might have some more leverage to bargain.

If there are no mechanical problems, it appears that the asking price is in the reasonable range. Obviously it would be nice to get it for less than $14,000. Others may have different opinions, but I doubt you could buy it for less than $13,000.
