While I'm certainly no Porsche expert I believe your first sentence answers your question. $30k is alot of money for an upgrade....IMO.

I think you answered your own question. If you love your current Boxster there is no reason to ditch it for a used one you now nothing about (maintenance history, etc.).

Personally, I prefer the styling of the 986 over the 987. The 986 was designed to be like the 550 Spyder, the 987 strays from that design so it can be new. Whether or not it is better is up to you.
The only significant change worth the $30k upgrade cost in my opinion are the built-in cupholders.

Jacques79,


My Canadian brother from another mother, sir you have answered your concerns and desires in your original post;

"I absolutely love my 9 year old Boxster S." Keep it!

"Of course I wish it had more power, more specifically more below 4000RPMs.", "if that car is worth 30 000$ more than mine". Take that money and slip in a 3.6 or 3.8...problem solved. :dance:
