I bought an hardtop secondhand and painted it in the cars color which is GT silver. I put on during the cold months. I have noticed that it isolate the cabin more when stationary with the engine turned of and it let in less road and wind noice when driving.
With that said. The fabric roof on the Boxster is very good. The hardtop is not a must have. More like something that is nice to have.
Also if something would happen with the mechanism or the fabric roof it’s nice to have the hardtop as a backup.
I don’t think it adds any financial value to sell the Boxster with or without an hardtop. Many buyers probably have problems where to store it. But who knows what the future holds. The cars are around 20 years old.
Owners of older Mercedes SL from the 1970’s and newer appreciate if the car comes with hardtop even if they never use it. I will be keeping my car long term so I think it nice to have the hardtop. They will probably be harder to source in the future.
