Agree with it or not, it’s currently the highest value production 986 and probably will remain so. It has all the marketing paraphernalia which collectors love along with enough production differentiation to make a discernible difference to people who care about that kind of stuff.
I fully understand that the 550SE is a special car. Which is why I said $23,800 seems like a fair price. If it were just a 2004 Boxster S with 9,000 miles, I would say $17k - $19k might be a fair price, at least in a private party sale. Auctions always inflate prices.
