Lots of people using the 914 as a benchmark to say the 986 will eventually go up. Can someone explain the logic there? Just cause one car has SLIGHTLY gone up (still eons away from being a 'collector' - how does that in any way affect the Boxster?
Totally different car.....totally different mindset and most importantly - they only made around what, 100,000 914 whereas the Boxster has been produced in the 100s of thousands and still going.

One can never say never, but seriously....the Boxster is not a classic. No one cool has ever died in it. It's still viewed as a hairdressers car. It doesn't have the cachet of a real sports car. We all know the comments around "Couldn't afford a real Porsche".

So relax, drive it and enjoy. Who cares what others think. No way this car ever becomes a 'classic' and an investment.

Sure, it might retain SOME value and depreciation will level off - but that's very different from appreciating and growing in value.
