Did I get a good deal on my 03 Boxster

I would say from the recent research I've done the value is in the $16,000 to 18,000 range. He has done a lot of work and the mileage is great. It is all about the mileage and condition on a 10 yr. old car. Welcome aboard and good luck with your new toy.

It probably depends on the market...but I bought my Boxster in Texas 4 months ago so I did plenty of research. For a non-S...I'd say the Texas range is $14k-$15k.

I bought less than 2 weeks ago - 2002 non-S w/onboard computer, Bose system (8-10 speakers?), leather seats (option?), 6 disk changer, a trunk full of spare knick knacks, 60,000 miles, good condition top, with $2300 service from reputable local Porsche mechanic (including water pump that was noticed to be on it's way out) paid for @ $12k

TMV was around $15k, but my wife don't buy unless she feels like she won a contest at the dealership. I paid less than $31k for my 350Z Touring ($36k sticker) in 03 and $30k for my BMW that was 3 months old and the previous buyer paid $42k. As long as I get my car, she can play negotiator all day long...

Wouldn't the modding diminish the value? It does for most used buyers unless it is just a cat back or something. I have been trying to find an Evo 8/9 that is unmolested/not wrecked for over a year. Every one that doesn't get instantly snapped up is modded and those usually get auctioned off and sold near military bases. I will admit, some of us made questionable financial decisions in the Marines/Military way back when. So, near a military base is where most central Texas (and some from Houston) modded trade-ins end up - Killeen, TX, near Ft Hood.
