Not in my neighbourhood here in Canada. A while back I could have bought a "decent" 1996 993 Turbo (not an "S" - they are huge bucks here too) for $85,000.00 Canadian Dollars. My 2007 Boxster S window sticker was $99,000.00 CND. In Canada the base MSRP for a Boxster S is $77,300.00 and the rest was options I added (see sig below). It was not just the purchase price but rather the fact the 96' would have no warranty and at 80,000kms (50,000mi) it could potentially drain the bank account big time in maintenance and repairs. Still love that car though!

I agree nice ones are hard to find and an "S" even more so.

As a side note, right now there is a 1996 993 Twin Turbo for sale in Toronto at AutoForum with an asking price of $74,900.00 Canadian Dollars. It has 137,000kms (85,000mi) on it though and I have no idea of its condition.

There was a 1997 Turbo "S" listed about 2 months ago but I see it is gone now. The asking price was something like $170,000.00 Canadian but it had really low kms and sounded like new. Still a ton of money.
