As you work on your Boxster, do you do the work to retain resale or because you simply do it for your own tastes and desire?
"Wheels fall off" NEVER!!
I work on my Boxster for the enjoyment, I have no plans to get rid of it. I have owned it over 8 years and enjoyed every minute of it.

I got my 2000 986 'S' in Nov 2010. I usually keep a car about two years but I'm thinking I'll have this one for some time. I work on it because I enjoy it. I have replaced so many things that didn't need to be. I did them because I felt like it. I know for a fact if I sell it I'll never get my money back but some one sure will get a bullet proof car!! If I were going to buy an older Boxster I would jump at the chance to buy one like mine, I even would be willing to pay extra.

I recently purchased a 2007 Base with very low miles. This one is for showing and enjoying, I won't be modifying or replacing anything. I've said I'll keep it a year but she will be hard to give up...we'll see.
