6 months ago I got a MY base 2000 82K miles, well-optioned in extremely good shape, 2 owners one only 6 mo's, all dealer service receipts including recent brake job/IMS/starter/alternator and various other good things, recent service, new rear tires, slate gray color, new rear window for under $8K as it needed a new clutch (that cost me $1400) AND that is a S. California car... I think this time of year, your location, and the market that price is VERY high. Go to ebay and look at what MY2000 Boxsters have sold for (not listed) and you'll see.

You won't see but a fraction of the recent money you put into it nor do options really make a difference in price.

Oh yeah, "run flats" are usually NOT desirable at all... everyone I know ditches those immediately due to both cost and the fact that they don't have the traction of other choices... and lastly that in the event you have an issue roadside the chance of anyone having one in stock is almost nil.

Good luck.
