Lets see, around 400,000 Boxsters made, so there is just a huge glut of these cars around. Its not rare, so value goes down.

If you think Boxsters depreciate, I bought an 11 year old Saab 9000, which sold for $43k new, for $3000. The car was in great shape, 8 out of 10, inside and out. 11 Year old Boxsters are worth $10k-14k, so they aren't holding up that poorly.
