I have to agree wholly with MWS on this, not that I get you. But some things you spend money on are for the pure enjoyment they bring to you. Based off our what did you pay for your boxster thread $10K to $11K sound about right for an S with those miles. In my opinion the boxster is about bottom out value wise, but wont really increase in value either as so many were produced. Best thing is fix it the way you want it and enjoy the car.
