"does not mean it's worth 35,000. 05 987 S exceeds this car in every aspect so their is no point to this car at that price. when you can get A loaded 987 s with 10K on them all day long for 35 grand.
Why bother?"

I said check kbb for price. If you like the ordinary - sure buy the 987S

Ordinary Porsche, oxymoron.

I agree with most here, 35K is absurd. I'm a bit biased, but you can get a NICE 987S for 35K.
You can get a far superior 987S for 25K, in my opinion. You can probably get a Certified 2006 S from, a dealer, for 35K and sleep at night, rather than laying awake waiting for an IMS failure.

Special edition Boxster add little value beyond the actual upgrades. Porsche simply do too many 'special editions'. And there is no existence of a die hard Boxster collector segment like there is for other Porsches. That's only because these people like giving all their money to mechanics who need the work.
The 550 has a very nice interior which can get very expensive in the aftermarket.
But not $35K worth. A fully optioned 986S needs aero like a GT3 bumper and some side skirting. minimalist is nice but I think the extra touches give more the appearance of the original concept car.

I've seen 987's in the cocoa brown interior in silver with a better interior (well..except for the round school bus steering wheel). Cayman's too.
