I think you can get more for it, probably in the $14-15k range.
I bought mine 2 months ago, a 2001 S with 35k original miles on it. It has more options than yours I think (original Sport Classic II wheels, coloured crests, Litronics, crazily priced special Slate Grey color - saw the original sticker and it is unbelievable how much Porsche charged at the time for this color - original Porsche Aerokit Boxster II plus some mods like Short Shifter, etc) and paid $17k.
As yours is one year older and with more mileage on the body, less options and similar miles on the engine, that is why I think $14k would be possible. Selling a Boxster is also an exercise of finding the right buyer. I knew exactly what I was looking for and when I saw that one for sale it was the perfect car for my needs.
So far, great vehicle! Did a lot of preventive maintenance and now have all the parts for the next big things ready (clutch, brakes, etc). So when time comes I will be doing clutch/RMS/IMS retrofit in one shot and the brakes in the next 2-3 weeks I think (not that I really need new ones but it is getting there - I already put almost 5,000 miles on it since I got it).
Good luck selling it! I think mine will be buried with me.
