That's what made buying a Boxster possible for most of us! I got my 01 with 40k miles on it in December for 19K. It's not perfect - the interior was dirty and has a lot of wear on the center console and door pocket covers, and there's some nicks in the paint. All can be remedied relatively easy.

She runs great, and I'm liking it every time I drive it!

My plan was to keep it, and in about 4-5 years, find a used Cayman for around the same price! Although I might need to get something more practical...

Depreciation

If you want a car that holds it's value then buy a Toyota Prius. My friend is on his 4th one. He drives them for a year then sells them for a little more than what he got them for. But on the flip side you'd be driving a Prius and not a Boxster.
