Yes, $100,000 for a Boxster does sound high to me, so I looked at inflation rates and dollar value compared to 2000 and found a multiplier of 1.46%. If a fully optioned Boxster in 2000 cost say $65,000, that adjusted amount would be $94,900...so, I suppose (in that context at least) that $100k isn't unreasonable.
So for giggles, let's pretend we could merge today with then...if it were 2000 and a current 718 was for sale at the Porsche dealer next to a loaded 986 and were the same price, which one do you think would get all the attention (and sales)? Or what if today the 986 was new and in a showroom next to a 718 and were the same price? I suppose my point is that history produces the car for that time and that we should all be grateful that the 718 wasn't available then....or we wouldn't be driving our 986's. Either that, or if the 718 was available then, the current model would be the Porsche xxx fusion powered hover-car...convertible, of course. Lol.
