I know you're about smack in the middle of the state or so, but prior to my seeing that I was gonna say go see what they offer you for it in Oklahoma. Even then, I'm with others in seeing what you can get for it privately from someone who actually desires the car and is willing to pay what it's still worth. Maybe list it online and see if anyone in AR or the surrounding states is willing to come and take it off your hands for what you're looking to get.
I have to agree with you that, after having driven an '09 Vette convertible in March, you kinda get back in the Boxster and wonder why nothing's happening when you stomp the accelerator...of course we're not talking about what happens when you turn the steering wheel on either one, that'd be a different story, lol.
If I had your stable (workin on it
), and your dillemma, I'd probably end up parting with the Boxster, and privately at that. This way you can go and knock out half the price on a focus, or just about the whole thing on the big-kid-go-kart (Fiat 500), which I'm sure you'd find fun in its own little ways and still be quite efficient. That's just my $.02...maybe more like $.25 based on length, but good luck with whatever you decide, though I'm sure you'll make the call that you're happiest with.
