Are 986 ('97-'04) Boxster prices still dropping, or have the flattened over the last few years, or are they appreciating?

It seems a base Boxster is around $6k where an S is $12k.
I don't think 217hp vs 250hp is much of a big deal for my street driving.
Is the "S" model worth the premium?

I am aware of the IMS issue, and that it may be overhyped.
I am figuring it's $1500 to resolve.

What comes with the Sport package?
Deal breaker for a car without it ?

Is it worth paying more for a 2003+ ?
There seems to be a huge jump in price from $5k-$12k range for 97-02 and then it seems to jump to $20k for 2003+
What year range is the best bang for the buck?

What is a fair price for a Boxster S (2000-2002) with about 50k miles?
