I think there are a lot of great deals on used Boxsters out there. They will continue to depreciate, but I expect there will be a "floor" for prices of Boxsters in good condition with reasonable mileage. So at some point, depreciation will probably slow down.
I look at it this way: I paid $21,250 for a 2000 with 30k on it and overall excellent condition. My total outlay is just a bit more than what I would have paid for a good new economy car. I'll enjoy driving the car for at least 10 years, and it will be worth something at the end of that time. So, I'm paying an economy car price to drive my Boxster. If I get $4000 or $10,000 for it in 2017, I'm going to be happy either way.
