Used Boxsters Prices are too cheap
I have been debating selling my Boxster S rather than investing a lot of money into it in the form of the full Fabspeed exhaust system, Recaro sport seats, BBS or OZ wheels. I figured I'd just sell my Boxster and buy a brand new one.
So I went to Edmunds and priced out a new "S" with comparable options to mine and was shocked to see that I would have to pay about $68,000 to $70,000 to replace my car with a new one. $77,000 to get it the way I'd really like it optioned.
So, my point is with Boxster S's like mine trading in the $22K to $25K range I think used Boxster's represent good relative value and their prices actually should be much higher. Yea, a new Boxster has 45 more HP than mine and upgraded technology, but not $50,000 more! My Boxster S is already faster than I need it to be on the street and handles beyond my abilities as is. So, if I set it up for DE use and add that ROW M030 upgrade + lower rear stress bar, and my above list of upgrades I will have an awesome Boxster S for a whole lot less.
Fabspeed has a tuning package they claim is dyno tested to add 34 HP. So I'd be only 10 HP less than a new Boxster S and it won't cost me $50,000 more plus the interest cost on financing which would be huge!
Bottom line is that I believe used Boxster's are very cheap, represent a great value, and their prices are actually too low.
What say you all?
