Boxster depreciation?

[Techart Boxster]

To add my 2 cents, I actually have a 2006 RR SC and a 2005 XKR Cab both with low low miles (the XKR has 6900) and in the case of the XKR I would be hard pressed to get 55k. This from a car that sold for close to 100. The lesson, buy slightly used and get a great deal!

They depreciate but in comparsion to other cars they do pretty good. My car was probably in the $54k range new I bought it a month ago, 8 years old for $22k so a little more than half in 8 years but it only had 17k miles. That seems pretty good to me.

That's what made buying a Boxster possible for most of us! I got my 01 with 40k miles on it in December for 19K. It's not perfect - the interior was dirty and has a lot of wear on the center console and door pocket covers, and there's some nicks in the paint. All can be remedied relatively easy.

She runs great, and I'm liking it every time I drive it!

My plan was to keep it, and in about 4-5 years, find a used Cayman for around the same price! Although I might need to get something more practical...

If you want a car that holds it's value then buy a Toyota Prius. My friend is on his 4th one. He drives them for a year then sells them for a little more than what he got them for. But on the flip side you'd be driving a Prius and not a Boxster.
