Last November I decided to sell the Boxster and get another Porsche.

I was looking at getting a 2004 or 2005 Turbo Cab or a 2009 997.2 Cab. I had bought the Boxster new in 2001 after special ordering it. Then, over the last thirteen years I have added some nice mods. With only 23,000 miles, a garage queen and well maintained, I priced it high at $23,500. I had it sold once for $22,500 but the buyer backed out after a death in the family the following day. I had several offers in the $20,000 range. In all honesty, $20,000 is a fair price for the car. But, for $20,000 I figured I would keep it.
We currently keep it covered and it is parked in front of my wife’s Mini Cooper. My daughter is moving out shortly so the Boxster will get moved to its own stall which will make it a lot easier to get to. So, it will be a keeper and I plan on driving it daily. My wife and I currently share four cars. At one time it was five cars and I had a company car. Thus the low miles.
I cancelled the AutoTrader ad and got my money refunded per their contact and took down the Craigslist ads.
Overall, I am pleased with how it worked out. I have saved $30 to $40,000 and I have a great car to drive. And this forum is a wealth of information.
