Here's a question. What is the going private sale rate (not from a used car dealer) in your area for a same year Boxster with same mileage in moderate condition? I think you mentioned that generally 986's are in the $10K area.

If you do get another Boxster I would suggest not driving it to school anymore.
You've got far too many inexperienced drivers in very high proximity to each other.
I don't even trust my Porsche to a commuter parking lot populated by people with 20 years driving experience... I ride my $300 fixed gear track bike rain or shine, even in the snow. The Boxster stays safe at home. If the hike were too long for the bike, I'd get a Honda.
