Whats up with Boxster prices?

Not that it will affect the price by $5-10K, but Boxsters can have a dizzying array of options. After reading the owner's manual, I felt my Box was almost naked compared to the options that were available. So be sure you know what they have, some of the difference in price on similar mileage Box's could be due to the options. And I'm not talking about the std cruise, pwr wind, etc. I mean heated seats, rain sensors, nav systems, PSM, DSP, park assist, etc - big ticket options.

comes down to what you want to drive, a bmw that you see every day, and everyone drives them, or a porsche?

i'm starting to see porsches everywhere too tho haha...

anyhow if it helps u compare, i got a '99 boxster with like none of the oem options and 94k miles for $15k. it's been lowered 1.5" and has a side skirt, 18" wheels, painted bumperettes, clear sidemarkers, litronics + headlights cleared etc.

on the flip side, i didn't get a ppi, and ended up paying over $2500 in getting a new slave cylinder which killed my car once on the fwy, a new clutch which killed it the subsequent week, a new engine mount because it caused rattling and was torn, and get the wheels repaired from it being slightly tweaked and an eye opening oil change.
