Excellence have these tables of current market values that chart increase and decreases in values by model year, from low mileage cars in excellent shape to higher mileage cars in fair shape. Interesting factoid on the piece below, it says Porsche had 6,000 U.S.
pre-orders for the Boxster in its first year, that's compared with barely 2,600 Carrera
sales for all of North America in 1998.

They show how the prices have fluctuated over the last x numbers of years which provides an interesting history. For instance You can see how hard the credit crisis hit the Carrera 'premium' in the second hand market for out of warranty 996 cars, $20-$30K single year drops in some cases. Meanwhile since the Boxster was not priced so high to begin with their prices did not see as severe a drop. Generally though the 986 price drop seems to have slowed a bit with a modest bump in value in the most recent years. But I have not checked these since the 981 started hitting the streets.
