The price for a 2005 987S with the same mileage is about 1000 more dollars more (26k). Not much difference.

If I'm buying a first Boxster unless I get a screaming deal I either go with a 986S or a 3.4 987S. It's either get a car that you can't beat for the money (986S) or a roadster that hauls ass. I chased a brand spankin new 3.4 in red with tan leather that litteraly just rolled off the lot and this guy wasn't waiting for now stinkin' break in period and he was no amateur. Which makes me think the Boxster RS must be a killer. I'll be looking for one of those in a few years when the deval kicks in.

Here are the 1st three 550's I pull up on Autotrader. Asking prices range $33k-$39k:

I'm in no way trying to justify that this is the proper market value, but the guy the OP is dealing with isn't terribly out of line with what these sellers are asking for. I bet if the OP keeps looking though he/she can find one in the $22-$26k range too.
