Not to burst your bubble, but if I were a dealer (and I was) and you came into my dealership with your strategy and you left with the car, I would be smiling. I can tell you that they DID know what price they listed the car for. You did not "outfox" them in any way.
In fact, they likely would have sold the car for $14,500.
Does that make you feel good or bad?
The REAL cost of this transaction to you will be determined over the next few years, if you keep the car that long. A Boxster can take you to the poor house faster than most cars.
The profit or loss for the dealer is complete. If he sold the car, it is probable that he made money but who can tell. Your financial cost can only go up, not down.
"Pride goeth before a fall" and I DO wish you luck. I hate to see a Boxster experience ruined by numerous expensive trips to the mechanic.
BTW-Do I understand it correctly that you did not have this car inspected BEFORE you purchased it? If so, that would be a major mistake.
