The 550

was nothing but a very well optioned marketing ploy to pretend some exclusivity to the last few 986s produced. Every manufacturer does that...a special edition just before the old model is replaced. I doubt any 986 will ever be a collectible. Most desirable 986, yea if you like the colors. Some aspects of the 987...yea. Just makes it harder to maintain.

$35k is ridiculous. Even asking that is ridiculous. It shows the seller has an inflated impression of his own worth and therefore of his car's value. I doubt you'll be able to strike a fair deal on that car. $26k.

I;d take my Problem areas web page printout to him and show him you know the potential problems and offer $25k. And don't budge. There are 1200 Boxsters for sale today at www.cars.com. That means there must be hundreds more out there. You can get a better deal on a nice car. And about 35k miles with the 30k done and fresh best quality tires is the sweet spot.
