Probably should be somewhere at least in the low $20's, if I had to guess.

Agree w/ BoxMann that at 1st glance would think price would be right at $20K. I've seen 2010 base Boxsters w/ 70K mi in the $21-22K range. However...
No Carfax so we don't know how many fender benders / bumps & bruises.
At that mileage, you should assume the clutch is toast.
It probably needs a set of tires, brake pads, and rotors.
Combined, these items would drop the price to around $15K, so probably not too underpriced. When was the last time a dealer unknowingly underpriced a car? Would assume the worst on this one.

Well, that's kinda what I meant when I said it was "too cheap" -- i.e., that it had a bad history and/or needed a bunch of work.
You're not just buying a Boxster here, you're buying a project, and maybe a headache too.

There is a 29k-Mile 2008 Porsche Boxster RS60 Spyder on auction on Bringatrailer.com that looks very well maintained in case anyone's looking.

That's a sweet looking car. What do you think it would go for? I'll bet the Reserve is low $20's.

It's not that bad.
This car was listed for $20K back in the summer. came down to $18K and then we had a visit from Hurricane Michael. The dealership is in good shape but most folks are preoccupied with recovery issues Yesterday was two months since the storm hit and It'll be years before the east end Panama City is back to normal. Panama City Beach was spared and is fine for anyone making vacation plans!
I digress.
Yes, the car not a garage queen and it has a weird past. I almost bought this car a few years ago in the winter for $16.8K . In the last three or four years, it's been for sale 4 times on three different lots. I does raise red flags, but if you looked at the car and drove it, you'd wonder why. IIRC, tires were fine, pads would need attention but rotors were ok. Who knows about the clutch but it felt fine.
Not trying to talk anyone into the car but for anyone with DYI skills, I doubt you'd have much $ risk.
