A few hundred at best

probably no difference but the speed of the sale.

The Boxster I want costs $94K. The day I drive it off the lot those options I have to have are almost worthless because I'm competing at resell time with lower priced cars and trying to sell to people who want not to pay new car prices so they will go look at the price of the low optioned car and fix on that. (I know I used it as a negotiating tactic.) And you sell at their idea of the right price or you don't sell at all.

There are thousands of Boxsters for sale right now. Buyers market. Worth what someone will give right now here today. Not what the seller thinks or wants.

Mike makes some good points.

Here are some other things to consider. The value of individual options is a personal preference. Most people wouldn't pay extra for a CD changer today because owners who are interested in music would install some type of iPod integration.

You would have to ask yourself if the options on one car would outweigh your opinion about the condition of the car.

Just me...but I will always pay up for safety and convenience options

like litronics, PSM, crusie control, power seats - but will pay little to nothing for cosmetic or vanity options - crested seats, NAV, wings, etc.,
