Original sticker here is 60,882

Bought the car for 12.5k

Worth a 6th of what it was new, and seemingly close to bottoming out, I don't mind sitting on this car for a few years at all.

My 2000 S was a bit over $91,000 over the curb. The PO gave me the original sales invoice from Pfaff. I nearly crapped myself.
Then he had the dash reworked to add cupholders. Next he had the console done in Arctic Silver when he bought speedster humps.
I bought it 11 years later with 47,000 miles for $19,000.
It turned 56,000 miles yesterday on the way home from Indianapolis.

Adjusted for inflation that would be 911 gt3 money today, nice to know the options were such a premium then as they are now haha.

Jake, mine is a rather lightly optioned vehicle.
It may have something to do with the fact that it's an S, as well as a Canadian market car.
We get so sandpapered up here in the Great White North...

I believe the base started at 40 and s at 50, could be 50 and 60, but my car too is an s, and a fairly optioned one at that. However sounds like you got a fine car for a nice amount of money haha.

I would like to know the options....the original owner spending money to rework the dash for cup holders means there was plenty to burn!!! I am just curious what crazy people with money get on their no-limit Boxster

Mine is an '00 S with a nice set of options:
Traction Control
M490 + M680 Stereo and DSP (I think sounds Just fine )
Engine Lid Storage Box w/Speakers
CDR-220
Heated Seats
Colored Center Caps
Cruise Control
Windstop
CD Shelf (ok - completely useless and since replaced with factory original storage shelf)

My sticker was in the $62k range. I got her last January with 53k on the clock and a fairly fresh clutch and LNE IMS bearing for $14.7k...I would say I got a steal!!!

And mine would be $85k in today's dollars...about right...with the Burrmeister and all
