Excuse me if someone posted this already (I did a search) but I was perusing my October Car and Driver and on page 123 as part of their Solstice GXP article they decide to compare the Solstice to an enthusiast-owned 987 base Boxster.

They don't say what year the car was but the part that caught my attention was this: "consider that our man Dokianakis bought his $53,935 Boxster with just 4000 miles on the clock for 35 grand."

They don't mention the year but I have to assume 2005. At $53,935 sticker, this was obviously no base car. Does anyone know where these $35,000 987s are?

I was thinking of getting a Solstice GXP or Sky Redline because of affordability but if I can find a 987 well into the 30s I would definitely pay the premium.
