still don't get why Boxsters drop in value so fast

[986_inquiry]

This car gets tons of looks, tons of "nice car!", is a blast to drive, is fast (yes, even the 2.5 is fast), reasonable gas mileage (20mpg over last 10,000 miles with manual), two trunks offer more storage than most convertibles, yet it's worth about the same as a 1990 corvette or a 1990 944

No one would look twice at either of those cars, they're both much older, yet they're worth the same?

I just don't get it

Actually... I guess it's not just our Boxsters as this 1999 911 that sold for 13k and this 2003 (newer body, bigger engine) 911 that sold for 18k proves

so i guess it's not just us. Huh. Well, if this keeps up at least it means I can afford to be a Porsche owner for life
