Cayman premium disappearing?

A quick search on Craig’s List in the Los Angeles area shows that the Cayman price premium with respect to Boxsters is disappearing. There are several 2007 Caymans in the $25-30k price range, and an equal number of Boxsters in this same price range. It appears in 10 years one will be able to pick up a $10k Cayman, much like buying a 1998 Boxster today.

I actually think Cayman will deprecate faster than Boxster.
There is somethink in the look of boxster with top down (topless boxster) that makes you smile

I've been watching Cayman prices for the last 2 months and agree their prices are coming down, esp the 07 base models. Have also seen a few08 base models that were quite low priced. The S models still seem to hold their value.

i believe that after full depreciation the boxster drop top will be worth more than the caymans fixed roof. Porsche is the only company that sells the coupe for more than the drop top .

Always has been always will. Why does anyone pay more for a 987 non S with the extra cost option of a non removable top?
