Sorry, I was typing my previous response as you posted this. Cast a wider net when searching. Go to edmunds.com and figure out the difference between a base and S for the year you are looking. If I remember correctly, when equally equipped, S becomes only $5-6k more expensive than base, NEW. This difference should only shrink the older the cars get.

I paid 31K for the car at the dealer, which included 2 year warranty. The car was low mileage, about 22 K.

Last month, i lloked at going back to the same dealer and picking up a yellow 2004 Boxster S, but they wanted 40K, and would only give me 21.5K on the trade!


Hell with that. Not much difference overall in the 2 cars, except HP jump from 217 to, I think 270. So, I figure spend about 3 grand to get me up to about 240 HP which is respectable enough, and I'm alot better off than trading for a newer S.

Any other opinions?
