A 987.2 Boxster (09-12) will hold its value better than other Boxsters because it was the first generation w/o an IMS AND there were few of them sold because of the stock mkt crash / recession. So owners of a 987.2 have 2 things going for them. However, it doesn't have a lot of options - looks like heated seats and PDK. It has CPO going for it, so you have 2 yrs of coverage. That said, the Porsche dealer will want more for a CPO so you can't go with Guru's price scale. A dealership that CPO's a car had to pay Porsche $2K to CPO it, then adds $3K to the regular price. Consumers then have a 2 yr warranty for $3K. Since they've had this car so long, they may be getting to the point of wanting to get rid of it, but it will take a lot of arm wrestling to get them down to $24.

There are probably better options out there than the 00S. It has many of the common issues a low maintained Boxster has. Based on the needs, the price is too high. If Carmax offered $10, why didn't he take it? Find one that has these items addressed.
