I am curious. Why do you believe that your Boxster will not depreciate?

If the car is maintained and kept in good condition, it will probably always be worth 12-15k. I see similar cars selling at dealerships for 18-20k and private party selling for 15-19k.

Look at the 914, it sold new for $3500. A 2.0l car in good condition sells for 12k.

Compared to buying a new car and watching your money go down the drain with every payment, a good condition Boxster is a good deal.
