I concur more or less with Perfectlap here. For the water-cooled Porsches (especially 986/996) it is a buyer's market out there. In my case it doesn't help me that the rainy season *finally* just started in Northern California.
I wont toss around numbers since I'm in this sellers market too right now, but I will say that my $12.5k price for my '99 Boxster (with 82k miles, hardtop, humps, RTS and various significant repairs, such as IMSB, RMS, cluth...yadda, yadda, yadda) is a starting point for negotiations.
One of my buddies almost bought my car (in part because he's been drooling over it during the entire period of my ownership), but his wife cracked the whip and demanded 4-doors and 4-seats because they want to have kids soon. Instead he's looking at a 2007-8 BMW 330i sedan (300 hp due to twin-turbo v6) for $15k from a dealer. The 330i isn't a Porsche and it isn't a sports car, but it is a hell of a lot of car for the price and its practical enough for the wife-factor.
Within the PCar world there are a lot of 986/996 for sale right now. Outside of the PCar world, there are a lot of used cars out there at a similar price point that can make it difficult to convince a buyer to go with the 'impractical' 2-seat roadster.
Good luck!
