Is a RUF Boxster really worth 4x the going price for Boxster S? I'd love to own one but the 3400s is a pretty mild upgrade by Ruf standards and this is a huge premium. Is the Ruf name worth that much?

The Kermit green one cool!

No it's not worth that much unless it is..... to that rare buyer who would rather have this over a similarly powered and priced Boxster Spyder for example.
If RUF list a 'magazine car' for a price that's only marginally higher than what the hardware upgrade would otherwise fetch from a less familiar shop, its not so flattering to RUF.
So better to let it sit for a steep price. I'm guessing they're not thin on cash these days.

As much as i like it that car is no way worth that kind of money . A 987S mk2 will leave it in the dust for much less money. I think they will have trouble getting 30 for it .

You can get a brand new 2014 Boxster S with the 315hp 3.4L for $63K which I think is more HP than this 911 3.4L

I'd rather have the 2014 Boxster S. It's new, has a warranty, has about the same power plus it's has 12 years of advances. I was just thinking if this car still has the factory IMS? Don't forget the vinyl window.
