I'm planning on keeping the Boxster - I wasn't totally convinced I was doing the right thing even if I got the price I wanted. The Corvette costs me about $3,000 a year to own, even if I don't drive it much. There's $1,000 a year for insurance and probably $2,000 a year in depreciation. It's such a good car though. I've babied it since new and the GM engineering is good in the sense of being trustworthy and trouble free. Plus it's got so much power that it's thrilling in the way a Tip Boxster can never be.

So right now I guess I'm standing pat. I might trade the Corvette for a Volt or maybe even a Prius, possibly a Fiat 500 convertible but none of those cars are available right now.

I thought I'd picked up the Boxster near the bottom of its depreciation curve but apparently not. Well, the most I can loose is $12k, lol.
