Yep, pretty close. I'm not sure of the interior. Depends on the exterior color. What's your 99 color. Also as an FYI I believe you can special order any color combo you wanted from Porsche. I've heard some strange stories. 
Btw I also have a PST2 for diagnostics if needed.

To see 986 boxsters selling below 10k, is just incomprehensible.  To think that many of these vehicles once sold new for 40k to 60k+ is just gut wrenching ! I shutter to think what kind of "cornholing" I would get if I ever decided to sell the Dangermobile.

Don't feel too bad nearly all luxury German cars are faring no better. I don't know if it was primarily due to the credit bubble of 2001-2007 that in addition to real estate also fueled a huge number of cars that people couldn' afford to own, certainly not long-term. The used car market is now just a big glut of expensive cars. Making matters worse now are these insanely low interest rates which make getting into a newer really expensive German car a piece of cake. So those people dump their over-priced, barely 3 year old cars onto the market as well.
We are going to be up to our eyeballs in Porsches, BMWs, Range Rovers, Audis and Mercs for a long time to come.

Who needs for a Ferrari. For $60K the new Stingray from Goverment Motors is going to beat the pants off any Fiat Italia or VW GT3 RS. It's already rumored to be matching those $120+K race-rubbered cars on just street rubber....
You can't even get a Boxster SPyder or Cayman R for that kind of money. And the kicker, track miles in no way affect warranty claims. They WANT you to beat it up. Porsche can't even keep the lug nuts on their center lock cars without absurdly expensive service intervals.
