When I purchased mine I found the opposite to be the case. I was looking at a couple boxster here in the upper Midwest. I went down to Florida to visit my mother. After searching the Florida cl adds I found a few nice examples for quite a bit less money. I ended up coming home and later making a deal. I met the seller at the airport and drove it back to Michigan. They bought the one way ticket. There are just more of them down there. I think you can get an even better deal on the west coast just from what I have observed

Yeah, timing matters and I didn't even look much outside the Orlando area. I really wanted one with a nice interior. I didn't expect to find one with a perfect 10 interior on a 21 year old car. Much less 20 miles away from me. It goes a long ways to making a new to me car feel new lol! Even if I do know that there's a bunch of work to be done.

If you just focus on what you paid for the car, you did not over pay. And, judging by your smile, you definitely did not over pay. Enjoy!

What is the floor for a turd? $6k ?

You got lower miles.
Mint interior.
Not abused.
Rare color.

That's easily worth $4k
