The hard top may be worth more sold separately then bundled with the car. The difference is that a person who is looking for a hard top is looking for a hard top and may be willing to pay more if the color and condition are right.

A person looking to buy a Boxster may or may not be looking to buy a car with a hard top. Some people don't like them. It may depend on where you live. Here in Virginia, they are nice to have for about 4 months out of the year. In Florida or Southern California they may be viewed as an item that is just taking up space.

If you do a price estimate on KBB or one of the other pricing sites, I don't think a hard top increases the value as much a you would expect from a separate sale.

I like my hard top. However, since I installed my 04 top and frame with a glass window, headliner and defroster, it is not as necessary in the winter as it was before.

I'm not even sure they offer hard tops with the 981s.

I've added quite a few mods to my car - mostly items bought second hand. I like having them, but I doubt they will increase the selling price of the car.
