How is re-sale - go to one of the used car value web sites and do some comparisons. Seems to me like 1st yr depreciation was somewhere around 17-19%, second yr 15-17%, then tapers off to 13% a yr or so. Resale mkt probably poor this time of yr, better in the spring. Roadster, you know. Porsche depreciation generally lower than most makes, I think.

This will be a garage toy, not the same power as Z06 but better quality.
Amen.

Should I buy 2005?
General Porsche recommendation is buy the latest, best one you can afford.

Will the new body 05 & up kill value?
Doubt it. It takes a Porsche expert to tell the difference between a '97 and an '06.

Family says its a Chic car
Nobody here will admit that, but do you watch the TV series "Two and a Half Men"?
One of the characters gets his Boxster stolen, and the missing car appears on a low speed chase on a freeway, observed by a TV station chopper. The helicopter reporter refers to the driver as "she", and when asked how he knew it was a woman says, "Well, it's a Boxster, so I just assumed ..."


I want to make sure I get a great deal & a clean car.
Don't we all.
