As usual, looked at lots of way overpriced Boxsters posted for sale online on various sites.

I can't get over the 'new math'.

1. I bought a 2000 Box S in August 2008 for $15K. The included sticker showed the MSRP of $57K so I bought it for basically 30% of MSRP. Fast forward to today. A base 2013 Boxsters are $43-$50K. I looked at one in particular that was is a low mileage car available for $49.9K. Best I can tell, the car, as optioned would have had an MSPR of ~$66K. a similar 30% valuation would put this car at ~$22K. Instead, asking price is over double. Crazy times!
