You probably will never do much better than the 'S' that Onewhippedpuppy has for sale in the classifieds right now.
If it's in your future, you'd be money ahead to grab it now.... especially since everyone is blathering about these cars now being "officially recognized by Porsche as a Classic" (as if that means anything, haha. but I DO think they're at the bottom of the depreciation curve. Thank you Charlie Sheen)

He's the one who ( afaik) started the whole "it's the little sister of the sports car you really wanted but couldn't afford".
I keep wanting to tell him to bring it out to the track and we'll see.... except I hear he's a pretty good driver, too. Haha
I think comments like his and Jeremy Clarkson's have served to accelerate the depreciation of the boxster. Ther boxster doesn't suit the poseur scene very well, because they have to deal with comments like that from all their poseur buddies.

Ah, thanks.
I, for one, am glad they are undervalued. It made mine easier to buy.  I just wish the parts were equally undervalued!  Now, my opinion may change if I decide to sell it, but I don't see that happening anytime soon!

That, plus this scene (in a movie my wife somehow talked me into watching with her)...

No it does not.
How could it?
For many of us (especially non-Ferrari owners  ) we're a captive audience.

Thats the supercharged lapis blue one right? If so, i have definitely been drooling over it. Timing just isn't quite right yet for me to buy another car, not that it will ever be. Haha. And I'm not sure the supercharger is what I'm looking for. No offense to owner/builder. It looks top notch and I'll probably regret passing on it later. Haha.

Supercharging any M96 engine is just stupid expensive temporary fun. Locking the engine @ TDC minimizes the tension on all the chains.
