I've battled with this decision as I do think the Cayman looks better than the Boxster. they are also extremely affordable now with some falling below $20k. I think it really boils down to one major advantage the 986 has: it is MUCH easier to work on than later Porsche's. If you DIY and work on your own car then "upgrading" will possibly be a regret. The 986 is very easy to work on (compared to newer Porsches) and that's something I don't want to give up.
