I think it's the same thing as buying a preowned Chanel purse* (bear with me, gentlemen):

The cost of a new Chanel purse keeps rising, they're up in the $4000+ range now. The used ones are going up as well.

A few years ago, a Chanel purse was $2000 new. A used, say from 1998, was about $800. Today, that SAME purse, from 1998, in the same condition, is selling at $2000+.

It doesn't matter that it's older, if the condition is the same. The entry cost for new is SOOO ridiculous, that the market for used has increased, driving the used price up.

I think this is true for used Porsche as well.

(*if any of your wives ask, it's the double flap model, medium size)

Porsche Chick is right.Be it purses,planes or Porsche's,the price for "brand new" is the lead out.The stage is set to make the "pre owned" appear as a bargain.

Last August,the dealer wanted $20,000 and I paid $18,000 for my 00 Box S 6speed with 60,000 miles with factory hardtop and Boxster Red seats.Have done IMS/RMS for peace of mind.Happy today!
