Don't forget depreciation will begin accelerating as it's less than 1 month from being 2 MYs old. Therefore, book value/auction prices will drop faster than normal as dealers and PCNA clear [many] new '08s still on lots and '09's (which have had trunk $ on them since May). Usually the finance rates/trunk $ from PCNA typically haven't started until a new MY is on the ground (Sept) but '09 has been anything but ordinary. The '09 997s currently have $15K trunk $, not sure about the Boxster but based on the drop in sales year over year I suspect it's a high % of MSRP.
Anyhow, $1,500 is a nice chunk of change but I'm sure it's due for a $250 oil change soon as well as plate renewal ($50?), and of course insurance of $XX per month... In the grand scheme of life, I'd rather have $42K in my MMA or other short/long term investments making $ for me rather than costing it but YMMV...
